24/01/2014 19:13, Wolfgang Engelmann: Dear Lyx Users, I have exported my lyx file as a lyx archive, which contains as a tar.gz file the lyx file, the used bib file and the figures used. This is quite handy, because only the used figures, bib are saved. However, I have this problem: The path to the figures should be ./Kalanchoe-closed.jpg as an example and not e.g.: \begin_inset Graphics filename BluFloClockTar/AAAflowerclock20130909/Kalanchoe-closed.jpg since I would like to move the lyx file to another folder or send it away. I am not sure I understand. Could you describe your directory layout for this document? JMarc

This assumes that all your graphics are .jpg format, and that the names of your images (like 'Kalanchoe-closed') are made up only from letters, digits, hyphens and underscores. Andrew Thanks, Andrew, for pointing to this interesting addition to lyx. I have to try to understand and use it, sounds quite useful.
