My best guess, and it's just a guess, is that bibtex's being handed a path with spaces and choking on them. I am not quite sure why miktex/bibtex can not handle a path with spaces, whereas miktex/latex can. Anyway, if this is a problem that will be classified as WONTFIX, it would be better to

Hi, Uwe, I notice a problem. I have a customized layout file. If I put it under c:\document and settings\username\Application Data\Lyx\layouts, lyx-reconfigure can not find it. (Lyx can detect this layout if I put it under the system layouts folder.) Can anyone confirm this bug? Cheers, Bo
