Re: How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

[Yihui Xie]

Thanks a lot! Finally I added the 'cp' command in the converter to
copy the files I needed (*.pdf and *.txt) before compiling:

cp $$r/*.pdf $$r/*.txt ./  [converting commands here, e.g. pdflatex $$i]

It's still not a complete solution, but works for my situation.

 Yes, I know. But it should actually be fairly easy to write a little script
 to find it, though if LyX crashes you'd have to remove it yourself else the
 script would fail.

 The other option, of using some customized script to run LaTeX, etc,
 wouldn't have this problem.

How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

[Yihui Xie]

Hi all,

I'm using a LaTeX package that will include certain files into the
document, however, Lyx does not know these files are required for
compiling, because they are not included with standard LaTeX macros
(e.g. \includegraphics{}). So my question is, how to copy these files
into the temporary directory?

I guess the task is something like cp *.pdf $$Tempdir.

My question is similar to this one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg75879.html, but
I didn't find an explicit solution. Thanks!

Here's a dirty trick. You can include these via graphics insets, but 
then put a % in ERT at the beginning of the line. LyX doesn't know 
about the comment, so it'll still copy the file to the temporary 
directory, but of course LaTeX will ignore it. That said, it will also 
mangle the filename, e.g, you get

0_home_rgheck_files_graphics_225px-Alfred_Tarski.jpg
so maybe this is not a complete solution.
