I'm guessing that you are talking about export to html: for the file foo.sgml,
the generated file are foo.html, foo-1.html, foo-2.html ... foo-k.html
(k is the number of sections).
Currently, these files are generated in the temp dir, and then only foo.html
is moved to the destination dir. There are several possible ways to fix this:
(Suppose we are exporting foo.lyx to html using sgml2html,
and destdir is the directory of foo.lyx)
1. Add a flag to the sgml->html converter, that tells that this converter
creates many output files. After running the converter, we
do 'mv foo*.html destdir' (or even 'mv *.html destdir') instead of
'mv foo.html destdir'
2. Do (1) for all converters.
3. Add a flag to the sgml->html converter, that tells to run the converter
from destdir, i.e. we chdir to destdir and run 'sgml2latex tempdir/foo.sgml'.
The html files will be generated in destdir.
(2) is the easier for the user, as no flag is needed.

This won't work: If you have file foo.linuxdoc, and then you run
"sgml2latex -o dvi foo.linuxdoc", the result dvi is "foo.linuxdoc.dvi",
which is not what we need ("foo.dvi").
Is the same happens with docbook ? (what happens when you run
'sgmltools -b dvi foo.docbook" ?)

I first want to make the export code 100% functional, and then I'll see
what I can do to change this.
