Re: How to put temporary files to the lyx-file folder (for TrueCrypt compatibility)
If you want all files on the encrypted volume, then set the path for the temporary directory to somewhere on that volume. I don't want this behaviour *always*. If I edit some other lyx-file, not this secret one, then the TrueCrypt volume may even not be mounted. Is there in LyX some parameter like the 'lyx-file location', so that the temporary folder could be specified with this parameter? Not so far as I know. This is a pretty unusual situation, and LyX is definitely not set up to use different temporary directories for different files in the same session. I was not speaking of multiple temporary directories within one section. But I think I see your point. My approach is from LaTeX — all temp files are in the same directory as the main tex-file. You might try setting up a second user directory, and launching Lyx with: lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/ when you need to do so. I've tried what you suggest: lyx -userdir /media/truecrypt1/tmp, where /media/truecrypt1/ is where the truecrypt volume is mounted. On start up, LyX correctly ask me if a new directory /tmp needs to be created, put there lots of files but the PDF file during the preview is still built here: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.M22932/ (the number always changes). So basically, the temp folder is not put into a userdir. Can I control the location of the temp folder during startup?

How to put temporary files to the lyx-file folder (for TrueCrypt compatibility)
Hello, I am working on a document in a TrueCrypt volume. As far as I understand, when I view PDF, LyX puts a temporary PDF file (and probably all temporary pdflatex files) into some other folder (at least, I don't see them in the folder with the lyx-file). Can I change this? I would like all files, even those later deleted, to reside in a TrueCrypt folder. I have tried to remove the path in the Preferences/Paths/Temporary directory, but the PDF file still doesn't appear in the lyx-file folder. Thanks in advance! Kotya
