Rename bibliography when using thesis.lyx template
According to http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted#renameEnv, I should be able to rename my bibliography to "References" by changing \bibname or \refname. But neither of the listed tricks (Babel and non-Babel) works -- it still renders named "Bibliography". Anyone know how to fix it when using that template?

References out of order
Hi all, I'm using the IEEEtran template. Since the numbered references aren't alphabetical in the bibliography, I assume they're intended to be in order of first citation. But sometimes they aren't, if the citation order changes during editing. How do I re-sort and renumber the references when necessary?

Monitor BibTeX files?
My BibTeX files are automatically updated by Mendeley. Is there any way to have LyX monitor them for changes, so that I don't have to scroll down to the bibliography and click Rescan all the time? This would be handy, since I often start writing with the research still in progress. Sincerely, Chris Hennick Trent University Peterborough, ON, Canada http://softwetware.blogspot.com/

On a related note, is there any way to set a target file path for PDF rendering, so that I don't have to click Save As in Adobe Reader? Then, I'd be able to update my prof's snapshot with just one manual step.
Managing acknowledgements and disclosures?
Tonight I decided that when I was citing books or reprints that had been given to me, I should probably add an acknowledgement, like so: The authors wish to thank donors for the following reference materials: [#] from Jane Doe, [#] from John Doe, and [#, #] from anonymous sources. However, I'll have to manually edit this acknowledgement if I drop one of those sources, or if I receive and cite another reprint. It also occurs to me that I'd have the same issue if I were buying source materials with grant money, since then the citations would determine which grant numbers went on which papers. (At least, that's how I understand funding disclosure, although as a grad student I'm new to the subject.) Is it possible in LyX to automatically manage acknowledgements and grant disclosures, when some of them are tied to particular citations?
