1.2.0pre5 possible bug at edit-reconfigure ?
Hello all When I do Edit-Reconfigure after changing xdvi-kdvi, acroread-kghostview and so on, the following happens: - my ./lyx/lyxrc.defaults is erased - a new preferences file is created in that directory overwriting the old one, *and* - I lost all my preferences (kdvi and kghostview for viewing outputs), and xdvi, acroread and gv are the defaults viewers again :-( *BUT* if i recover ./lyx/lyxrc.defaults (thanks cvs :-)) everything goes normal and I get kdvi and kghostview again as output viewers I want to note that when I change preferences, save them and *not* reconfigure everythin is ok while Lyx session last, but all changes are lost at the new session. I have edited (as root) /usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.defaults to no avail, every reconfigure restores xdvi, acroread and gv from I-dont-know-where :-) It seems as if Lyx has those default options har-wired in some place that I am unable to find in order to change them. Any hints? Paco
