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.
