Re: Where to place a modified stdtoolbars.inc file?
*The file should go into ~/.lyx/ui/, or (more generally) the ui/* * subdirectory of whatever your LyX user directory is. * I have not the slightest idea why but I dropped the *stdtoolbars.inc* file back into the ~/.lyx/ui directory this morning and it worked! Perhaps the computer shutdown and overnight rest cured it? I have heard it worked for Model T Fords. Thanks for reassuring me that I was not totally clueless here and that it was worth a second (well 15th) try.

The file should go into ~/.lyx/ui/, or (more generally) the ui/ subdirectory of whatever your LyX user directory is. Yet more generally, any customization goes into the same subdirectory of your user directory that the original file is in relative to the LyX system directory. So a modified cua.bind would go into ~/.lyx/bind/. Riki
Where to place a modified stdtoolbars.inc file?
I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 and am restoring some software customizations. I have a modified stdtoolbars.inc file for LyX that I wish to use. Relying on the LyX wiki and a shaky memory of the last time I did this I thought that I could just create a ui sub-directory in my ~/.zotero directory and drop the stdtoolbars.inc file into it. Am I wrong or am I missing out some critical step in the process? Note the stdtoolbars.inc file should work as it is simply a back-up copy of the one I was using before the new OS installation. Running LyX 2.3.2 under Ubuntu 18.04 Thanks. -- John Kane Kingston ON Canada
