Re: exporting to rtf
Also sprach Dave Hewitt: I downloaded and installed the latest version of this for Windows, and it runs properly. However, LyX does not apparently recognize it and provide an RTF option in Export - Is there something else that needs to be done to instruct LyX in this? Did you run Edit-Reconfigure? Jürgen

If you think that LyX is still using that erred path, I can enter it in Bugzilla.

Re: Backup failure w/ LyX 1.5.2
I uninstalled LyX, wiping the User Preferences as well, and then reinstalled with LyXWinInstaller-small. Overall, I got no error message about a backup like before when trying to save, so it was definitely something that had been retained in the User Prefs (probably partially why Uwe recommended blasting them with the reinstall). So, Enrico, I think this means no bug problem. My User Prefs had indeed disappeared with the reinstall... the Backup directory path was empty in Tools - Prefs - Paths (though honestly I don't ever recall setting a path before, so perhaps there was a default for this path in the previous version of -- .\LyX 1.5.1\backup --, and now it comes blank?). The default apparently is for Backups to be on, as it was set for 5-min backups with the reinstall. With no path specified, where would they go? A file with an ending tilde (.lyx~) appeared in the current working directory after 5-min with an open document, but a #...# file was also there temporarily (I think it appeared earlier). The #...# file went away after I saved and closed LyX; the '.lyx~' file did not. Dave Hewitt
