Note that it would be almost trivial to also add those files, the only problem being distinguishing system files from personal files [1] and then adding appropriate paths to BIBINPUTS and/or TEXINPUTS (luckily, recent versions of MikTeX also support those variables). These paths could then be stored in main.lnk together with the path to the main LyX file. However, it seems to me that in this way we are rapidly increasing the complexity of the matter. > Anyway, let me get something moderately workable, and then we can see > how complicated it is. Sure, I was only suggesting simpler alternatives, but remember that often simpler is also better :) [1] One criterion could be considering as personal files only those under the own home directory. -- Enrico
