Hello,
I am working on a paper with multiple authors. As a result we have two
copies of the same lyx file. However, the location of figures are
referenced with respect to the location of the lyx file. If the
directory structure is
user1/dir1/dir2/
and the lyx file is in /user1/dir1/dir2/file.lyx but the graphics file
is under /user1/dir1/figure.eps then the figure's location is referenced
in the menu as
../figure.eps
So the pathname is relative to the location of the lyx file. However,
because the other author is modifying his copy of the lyx file in
another directory, he needs an absolute pathname for the figures.
I've tried to manually force the pathname to be absolute but it always
seems to convert the path to a relative path.
Does anyone know how to force lyx to use an absolute pathname for its
figures?? This seems like a bad design approach, but I might be missing
something.
Thanks!
Kevin Bowman
