Howto disable use of temporary directory?
Hi, i'm using LyX with MikTex on Windows and am having problems embedding images using \includegraphics after specifying a search path using \graphicspath. Even setting absolute path doesn't work. Found a couple of posts on the net that hinted turning off temporary directory and generating temporary files in the document directory while only using relative paths with \graphicspath would help. Unfortunately i can't find a setting in LyX that allows to turn off temporary directory. Already tried nulling tempdir which didn't work. Anyone had the same issues and knows a solution or workaround?

Problems after moving figures
After I cut and paste a figure, Lyx 1.6.5.1 (Kubuntu-64) freezes, and I have to terminate it before I can continue. It does something to the other parts of system, since I could not write this note to the list on Thunderbird-- it was frozen. It also informs me of having to change the label of the figure, since the label that is attached to the figure already exists. I would have thought that using CUT will be communicated to the cross-reference list, to prevent this re-labeling. Is it only me or have others seen this behavior? Thanks, EK

It would appear that on Feb 18, Marcelo Acuña did say: > I believe that the unique form to avoid the bug is to redefine the > header of the page by means of an ERT after the TOC. Sounds likely. Now all I gotta do is find my notes on custom headers... Not today though. My brain is kaput... Thanks! -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <*> <*> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <>

I believe that the unique form to avoid the bug is to redefine the header of
the page by means of an ERT after the TOC.

Yes, is a bug.
It would be necessary to inform it, but I do not know where that becomes.
I put the TOC at the end of the book and I do not have that problem ;-)
When I put it at the beginning of the book, I solved it using titlesec and
redefining header.

Unfortunatly there doesnt exist a lys book on the market, but a lot of good tutorials google-able, in german, too. Maybe at university there it could be a good idea printing the german tutorial at university printers? ;-) In my experience for big writings like diploma thesis it is the better way directly writing in latex (i.e. komascript).

Mit freundlichem Gruß Wolfgang Titze Hi Wolfgang, I'm y LyX user for ca. 10 years now and use it for NEARLY ALL of my text processing needs. Two recommandations: *** Rephrase your question in englsih and you will get lots of answers of people who produce books using LyX. If you search the this list in the archives, e.g. gmane (I don't know exactly how to do that, but I know that is works) you will find many contributions from people who do 'heavy' writing of big texts (theses, books etc.) *** Before you give some advice to your students, take the time to experiment a bit yourself with LyX. Then you will realize quickly >> how simple it is to work with structured documents I use them all the time, even shorter ones can be structured in a very helpful way >> how easy you can produce personally or group-wise pre-configured documents Only if you want to produce perfect documents with Logos and your own page layout etx. you have to use LaTeX. If you are situated somewhere between Munich and Zurich maybe we could arrange a personal meeting such that I can show you some of my experiences.
