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.

There are a few approaches you could take here I think. One might be a copier. 
See section 3.2 in help  customization

Here is another way. You can run the command below. First test it out by 
running View  Toolbars  Command buffer (or Alt-x usually) and enter the 
following command there and press return. Don't forget to modify the folder you 
want and the pdf name that you want.

buffer-export-custom pdflatex pdflatex 
-output-directory=/dir/you/want/to/save/to -jobname=forProf $$FName

If that works, set a shortcut by going to tools  preferences  editing.

If you are using Ubuntu, you can use this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/release

That should give you (stable) updates automatically.

If you are using Mac or Windows, I think the answer is no.

I think it was fixed for 2.0.3, though I'm not absolutely positive. It 
worked, then it got broke somehow. You can check the bug tracker and 
search on bugs with a 2.0.3 milestone.
