Hi list, I'm using LyX 1.6.7 on xubuntu 10.10 and I'm as satisfied as for the roughly ten years I'm using LyX now.
Actually I have a little problem: I like to have the path to the document at the end of my documents. So I've created a little python script giving me the end (because my file system tree is quite deep) of the path, accordingly I have defined an alias pdflatex="pdflatex -shell-escape" to permit the use of this script from within the latex source of my document. This doesn't work for lyx. I suppose lyx calls pdflatex using its absolute path. To find the place where this default is set I've been looking in ~/.lyx/preferences, /usr/share/lyx, ~/.config/Lyx, ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfig with no result. So, can somebody gice me a hint where the default paths for the converter calls are hidden? Similarly, I would like to use '.' as the default path for saving new lyx documents. Changing the corresponding setting in the menu >>tools >settings >paths >home (retranslated from my german version of lyx) I can change that location but the change is not remembered when I open lyx the next time. Any ideas on this?
