Hmm.. I don't really see the major improvement in workflow ;-).. Anyhow, the problem I have with the default master setting is that it sets the absolute path in stead of a relative path to my master (this happens when your master is one directory up from your child document, which is often the case, and you use the Browse button to select the master). This means that when you rename the directory where your master and children are in, you have to manually update all children to point to the correct master. This also happens when I open the document from a different location e.g. //pcvanvincent/C/Master.lyx. In this case all children start complaining that they can't find the master: C:/Master.lyx. What about an option in the InsetInclude that says "set children master" or "this child is only a child of this master", which then automatically sets the master document of its childs. This can be checked and/or set each time the master is opened. When you open a child, it will then automatically find the master. Only in the rare case that you might have a child document which can be included in differen masters, you should uncheck this option ? >Jürgen Vincent
