Exit all LyX instances. 2. Run the command ls -lR /var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn8100000gn/ 3. Open one .lyx file (which you said does not cause an error). 4. Run the same command as in 2. 5. Open another .lyx file. This should produce the error. Before clicking on OK for the error or anything else, run the same command as in step 2 again. 6. (still without clicking OK on the error or anything else), run the command mkdir <path that is shown in the error> So you should run the command in step 2 a total of 3 times and send us all of the output. Also send us the output from the mkdir command. I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now. OK. 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% / Yes this is what I wanted. I just wanted to confirm that the filesystem your temporary directory is on is not full (as the error you posted suggested). Scott many thanks Scott - now it feels like when you complain of a noise in the car, take it to the garage, and the car runs perfectly smoothly: I have been unable to reproduce the error! I have opened several files, and nothing! So for the moment all seems to be running ok again, really sorry for the trouble! But I have your instructions should the problem reappear. Thanks again!
