Putting the archive capability in LyX might be wrong, If you file an enhancement request, I think you should you suggest (as an alternative) that LyX should be able to create a list of all files that your document depends on. Then you could use this list to create the archive yourself, manually adding any other files you think should be included. > > So if I have finished work with a lyx file and all its figures I would > > evoke in Lyx: export to archive.
