Please stop talking of external_path. Yesterday you wrote that you don't want to discuss that anymore, and I don't want that either. I gave up trying to understand how it behaves now a long time ago, and I don't care anymore about it. The only thing I care about is that the result of an external_path call is only used for interfacing to other programs or display purposes (although we have makeDisplayPath for the latter that should take care of any needed transformations), and never for further use inside of LyX.
