When a compressed, bundled file is opened, the filename.lyxdir will be in $TEMP_DIR, so when a user inserts a file, it will go to $TEMP_DIR/filename.lyxdir, right? This is another new behavior. Then, when I turn off (filename.lyxdir moved to $DOC_DIR), and then turn on (filename.lyxdir remain in $DOC_DIR), when a user inserts a file, the file will go to $DOC_DIR/filename.lyxdir. Do you see a problem? My original guess was that you would always use $DOC_DIR, which has this 'document directory not writable' trouble, but should work better than your solution. Of course, all these are implementation details that you do not want to think about now. Cheers, Bo
