This makes no difference - when used as a template - I still get
exactly the same messages as before. It appears that Lyx insists on
stopping the graphic file from having an absolute name - if I try to
change the pathname by clicking on the graphic and editing the Figure
EPS file box to an absolute pathname, then click on OK, and then
click on the graphic again to edit the EPS pathname, it has reverted
back to a relative pathname!
I suspect this is the problem at the core of my dilemma!
I am using lyx 1.1.6fix3 - would this behaviour have changed in fix4 ?
it's the same beaviour in 1.1.6fix4. Wait for 1.2.0 which comes
soon.

template complains about eps
Hi I have a lyx file which I can open in lyx, and view, print etc. The file in question is a lyx file I have put together for a quote template for our lab, and it includes an eps file which displays in a footnote at the botteom of the quote. If I copy this file to the lyx templates directory, and then call it up from the New from temp[lates menu option, it complains it can't determine the size of the graphic (as this is an eps file, I'm guessing that it can't determine the size because ut can't find the file). If I save the file and do a diff with my original, the only differences are this: 119c119 file ../../lib/text/lhead/ukas-testing-WoB-SMTL-top-lhs.eps --- file /home/lib/text/lhead/ukas-testing-WoB-SMTL-top-lhs.eps If I open the template file directly from the main menu, I can view it. It seems to me that during the template process, something is mangling the path to a relative instead of absolute pathname. Should it do this, or is it a bug ? Pete
