The following opens the file fine. From the GUI interface I can export a ps file without a problem. C:\cygwin64\tmp>"c:\Users\gatzke\AppData\Local\Programs\LyX 2.4\bin\LyX.exe" test.lyx
However, trying to use the command line export it fails, see below. I have tried running from cygwin shell and cmd and both fail. I have tried different temp directories (/tmp, c:\Temp and c:/Users/gatzke/temp) Any ideas how I have failed to configure this or what may be happening? Thanks! BTW, recently found some of my 1997 LyX files from version 0.10, thanks devs! :-) "c:\Users\gatzke\AppData\Local\Programs\LyX 2.4\bin\LyX.exe" test.lyx --export ps C:\cygwin64\tmp>This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.27 (MiKTeX 25.4) (preloaded format=latex.fmt) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (test.tex LaTeX2e <2025-06-01> patch level 1 L3 programming layer <2025-07-20> support\FileName.cpp (264): Could not rename file C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0/tmpfile.out to C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0/test.dvi support\FileName.cpp (292): Could not move file C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0/tmpfile.out to C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0/test.dvi Error: Cannot convert file ---------------------------------------- An error occurred while running: python -tt $$s/scripts/clean_dvi.py "test.dvi" "tmpfile.out" support\FileName.cpp (681): Could not delete C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0 Buffer.cpp (601): Could not remove the temporary directory C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0 support\FileName.cpp (668): Could not delete C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn/lyx_tmpbuf0 support\FileName.cpp (681): Could not delete C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn LyX.cpp (425): Unable to remove the temporary directory C:/Users/gatzke/temp/lyx_tmpdir.uUKcPeuBRfqn Version info: Version 2.4.4 (Thursday, June 5, 2025) Qt Version (run-time): 6.9.1 on platform windows Qt Version (compile-time): 6.9.1 OS Version (run-time): Windows 11 Version 24H2 Python detected: 3.12.3 (C:\Users\gatzke\AppData\Local\Programs\LyX 2.4\Python\python.exe)
