Hi, I was wondering if there is any possibility to make Lyx know where I moved the files (like pictures f.e.) that I am referring to in my Lyx-document.
For example: I save a STATA result called output.tex in my folder "Work" on the desktop. I open a new Lyx-Document -> then i use the menu "insert->file" to include my file. I use the option browse to tell Lyx where the document is stored. Lyx now shows the following path /Desktop/Work/output.tex. Up to here everything is fine. But now i decide to sort all of my files in folder "Work" and create a subfolder "STATA_Outputs". Now the path for Lyx to find the document has to be /Desktop/Work/STATA_Outputs/output.tex. But Lyx did not recognize that i moved the file and still shows /Desktop/Work/output.tex in the Browse-field. That of course does not work anymore now, because the file is not there. Same problem with graphs and pdfs... So my question is now: Is there a possibility to make Lyx automatically adjust the paths of inserted pictures, pdfs, files, etc. when i move them. To make that clear: for just one file it would not be a problem to manually change the path. But i am working with uge datasets over a long period of time. So I add a lot of files to my Lyx document continually and when i start working in one project i never know in the beginning how the folder structure will look in the end. I basically have to re-sort the files all the time in new folders because the folder-structure evolves over time. And I need to sort the files in that way, because i also want to excess them outside of Lyx in a structured way. I would be very happy if someone could help. That would save me a lot of time. Thanks in advance. Btw. i am working with a mac. -- View this message in context: http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/Automatic-path-adjustment-when-moving-pictures-files-etc-tp5778086p5778086.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
