Dear Yu, I have my document open since my last email yesterday. The #...# file was not created. I just modified, save it, and the "error" window appeared again. I have checked the lyx~ file and I have permissions for everything. I closed Lyx, the lyx~ file is not deleted, then I manually did. I reopened the file, edited the file, saved, again the error appears. The #...# file was, again, not created.
Thanks, nevertheless. Julio Rojas [email protected] On Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 2:25 PM Yu Jin <[email protected]> wrote: > About your original issue: > Maybe it's a permissions issue?
