Question: View/Export PDF to Directory
Hi all, I have a simple question which I could not find an answer to online to which I was hoping an experienced LyX user may know the solution. When I click on File Export PDF (pdflatex) the .pdf file gets generated in the same folder as the .lyx file. Would it be possible to have the .pdf file generated in a sub-directory of this folder--say, a folder named ./pdf or ./export? (I like saving my figures in a sub-directory and would similarly like the pdfs to automatically be saved in a subfolder so that only .lyx files are in the main directory for the project. Related to the above, when I click on View PDF (pdflatex) the .pdf file gets generated in a temporary folder. Would if be possible to have these generated in a sub-directory of the folder where the .lyx file resides--say, a folder named ./draft? Would it be possible to add a date prefix to the filename too? This would be so that I could save pdf drafts of the file. How would I change the settings for these? (NB. I am a LyX 1.6.3 user on Windows XP). Thanks! Ken

I guess you look at your Lyx preferences File Handling, Converters. For Latex (plain) - DVI I guess you could change the converter from latex to c:\bin\latex-dvi.bat $$i $$o and your batch file could be: @echo off mkdir draft latex %1 %2 move %2 draft Or something along those lines; and do likewise your your other converters Sam

But this only works for export. The View stuff will do its thing in the temporary directory. That's hardcoded. Richard
