I've installed LyX 1.6.0-rc3 (the bundle) on Windows and have been
playing around with it. I just tried exporting a document to PDF, but I
don't think it's working properly. I was confused at first about not
getting a file dialog asking me to save the file, but I found in the
user's guide that "The resulting files are placed in the directory of
your LyX-file." However, this definitely isn't the case! I don't seem to
get any result.
I even tried copying my LyX file to C:\a.lyx (to eliminate the
possibility of filename/path issues) and opening it from there, but
export still seems to do absolutely nothing. Is this a bug I should
report, or am I doing/understanding something wrong? I've tried PDF
(pdflatex) and also exporting as Plain text.
This is a known bug on WinXP that will be fixed for 1.6.0. Please have a
look at Uwe's announcement:
!Important note!: Due to a bug in LyX you are first be able to export
documents to e.g. PDF after
opening the preferences dialog and clicking there on the save button.
