That's exactly what I experienced. In my case, the working directory is mounted on one machine as /share/cuigl/pcshare/doc/dissertation, and on another machine it's mounted something else. So the absolute path doesn't work on the 2nd machine.

This particular thing is probably bug 1028 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1028 It will be fixed in 1.3.3. Now, if you are not using the qt port, then it is something else :) JMarc
Re: absolute path and graphics file
Thanks for all the reply. I do use qt lyx.

absolute path and graphics file
Dear Lyx users, I have a rather newbie questions. Is it possible to use relative path for inserted graphics files? It seems it's always the full path name is used in lyx files, which is not quite convenient in some cases. Regards, -- Guanglei Cui Dept. of Chemistry SUNY at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 11790

The only thing you have to do is to delete the full path to the graphics file after you pick it. For example, if your document is in the path /home/pp/document.lyx and your graphics file is /home/pp/files/gg.eps, after the file is inserted, you have to delete the string /home/pp/. Then, the file entry will only be files/gg.eps, the relative path. I wish it help you. Regards, Rafa.

Thanks, but can this be automatic? Can this be done through working directory setting?
