I need to go but, I have asked you before whether or not you expect users to manipulate files inside filename.lyxdir directly and you have not answered. If some part of your workflow rely on direct manupulation of files under that directory, it will be really confusing for users. When I use a computer program to generate a figure figure.png, and insert it to a list file, do you expect me to change my script and let it update filename.lyxdir/figures/blah.png? This is unacceptable especially when there is no way to know in advance what the filename is. In short, allowing users to work with two copies of the same file (external files that can be updated from, and the internal copy) should not be an option. The rest for later. Bo
