The mysterious “LyX could not create temporary directory” etc error message remains, the workaround being to exit LyX, re-launch it and open the file. At least with keeping the last session I can now open many files :-) Thank you, paola Hi Paola, Thanks for your testing and feedback! What do you have listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary directory? Before changing anything, please backup whatever path you have there because we would like to know what it is. Do you still have the stable version of LyX installed? You do not see the problem there correct? On that version of LyX what do you have listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary directory? Finally, what is the output of the command "df -h /var" ? Would you mind bottom-posting (replying below the quote of the previous email)? Sorry for the bother but it helps keep emails organized. Best, Scott Thanks Scott, and apologies for top posting! The path for the temporary directory is: /var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn8100000gn/T I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now. Finally, I am not sure whether this is what you wanted, but I used the command in a Terminal window, which returned: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/disk1 931Gi 360Gi 570Gi 39% 94431751 149513719 39% / Many thanks! paola
