LyX 2.0.0: Can it work with current directory layout files?

gle layout file globally. So, does LyX 2.0.0 *ALWAYS AND CONSISTENTLY* use the named .layout file located in the same directory as the LyX file? Thanks StevET Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt

Re: Goodbye message and the search for a new LyX Debian package maintainer
