This is possible with a little bit more effort.

1. Add "$$f“ as 3rd parameter for your converter call in LyX preferences.
2. Extend your script similar to the following modified version:

===
#!/bin/sh
exec >> "$HOME"/bin/iPadConvert.log
echo $(date)":" "$0" "$@"
filename=$(basename "$1" .tex)
if [ -d "$2" ]; then
   targetdir="$2"
elif [ -f "$2" ]; then
   targetdir=$(dirname "$2")
else
   targetdir="$2"
   if [ ! -d "$2" ]; then
  echo Bad call with target "$2"
  exit 1
   fi
fi
if [ -n "$3" ]; then
   targetname=$(basename "$3" .lyx)
else
   targetname="$(filename)"
fi
echo pwd=$(pwd) filename="$filename"
echo pdflatex "$1" "$targetdir"/"$targetname".pdf
pdflatex "$1" && test -f "$filename".pdf && cp "$filename".pdf 
"$targetdir"/"$targetname".pdf
echo cp "$1" "$targetdir"/"$targetname".tex
cp "$1" "$targetdir"/"$targetname".tex
===

The point is to check for an (optional) 3rd argument to set the targetname like 
the LyX source file name.

The main issue with the script approach is that it changes the name 
of the files. For example, spaces become _. I don't see how to solve
this. I doesn't seem the real name of the original file is available
to the converter.

If you don't want to reconfigure & recompile just for the name change, 
then consider this:

alias lyx22="lyx-latestdev"

After that, the command lyx22 does what you want :-)

Helge Hafting

Good idea. Thanks

It is named lyx-latestdev.

I have installed the new Lyx 2.2(rc1) thanks to the help of several
people of this list. I wanted to keep the 2.1 version. I have
therefore started the new version by using src/lyx on the command

Does the new lyx use some of the resources and what could I do?
Can I change the name of the new Lyx to e.g. Lyx2-2 at this stage
(perhaps while doing make install) and get the resources back again?

The "new" lyx has updated stuff in your .lyx/ directory - the "old"
lyx does not understand and fails.

You can get the old lyx working by removing any new files from .lyx/
that the new lyx has created there,
or removing the entire .lyx directory. (That will also remove your
preferences, so you may have to re-set
anything in tools->preferences as well as any default document->settings.

To avoid this sort of thing, when you compile a test version of LyX:
./configure --with-version-suffix  (as well as any other parameters
you may want)
When you "make install", you will then get lyx-2.2dev which will store
its settings in .lyx-2.2dev/ and there will be no conflict with your
older lyx 2.1

Helge Hafting

Thanks, Helge. I should have thought of this. Wolfgang

You can always use your 'private' user dir to avoid clashes.
# mkdir ~/.lyx2.1
# /lyx -usedir ~/.lyx2.1

Kornel

That is probably the easiest way. Thanks, Kornel

LyX 2.2(rc1) on OS X 10.11.4 icon size/window size

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I notice this for several versions and have asked this in the past, I think:

I like the small icons and a particular Window size as the default, ie
to open all documents in when clicked.

That works, unless I exit the program, next time it starts with the
default smaller window and the default normal-sized icons.

Is there a way to make it behave like I want?
