I have no trouble with having the startup directory (in a shortcut) be different than the lyx bin directory, and the open dialog indeed starts in the desired startup directory. Make sure you PATH contains the lyx bin directory. ..dac

So if you have the file myDatabase.bib somewhere in the path specified in BIBINPUTS, you can just type 'myDatabase' and press the Add-button. You don't have to specify the full path, nor do you have to use the browse button to find it. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

There's a better than even chance that this is due to something I did wrong in setup, so if there's some file/entry which should store this, could someone please tell me what it is? Hi When I click on one of the browse-buttons in the dialog BibTex, it opens the browser dialog for the directory from which Lyx was started... so try starting lyx from another directory, i.e. from the directory where you have your .bib-files. Here's another way though to make it easier to find the .bib-files: First set your environment variables properly, i.e. see man bibtex and set the variables: $BIBINPUTS and $BSTINPUTS This way, you never have to browse directly to the .bib-files, but instead you can just type their name since the $BIBINPUTS is properly. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
