Re: Lyx 2.3.0rc2 -- Incorrect saving of file-name in Linux

More problems.     Even when a LyX file has the correct number of dots and is saving correctly, export to other output forms loses the part after the dot.     This can easily lead to the disastrous overwriting of existing files. Regards Frank Salter On 30/01/18 09:03, F M Salter wrote: >
