Hey Bo, I renamed the local file and did a reconfigure and that seems to have worked - it also seems to have corrected the "0"s issue. I'm working on both windows and mac (currently my mac), so I can't test the dev version till next week but will let you know. I should also note that I've been using these files with 1.5.2, 1.5.1, etc so I was surprised to see the issue but thanks for helping out. I would've never figured that out. Really glad to hear about the bundles support coming, I'm currently storing my figures in a subfolder so that at least all the paths are relative to the document which helps alot.
I'm also curious - i have also heard that there is going to be a new file format that is XML-based. Is this going to be implemented for 1.6? Does this have ramifications for lyx being for other purposes besides just LaTeX? for example see my thread on docbook support.
