When my document includs a listings (or a figure?) that is externally modified, lyx does not know that so view->pdf simply bring back the pdf file generated from last latex run. > > Reload buffer is useful when I have externally modified a .lyx file > > and would like to reload it. > > Please, could you explain the difference with File>Revert? You are right, File->Revert can do this. I have a mindset that File->Revert will revert to the original loaded version, forget that it will revert to disk file. But I see a bug here: File->Revert can only be used on dirty buffers, but it should be allowed even when a buffer is clean. Cheers, Bo
