This works in that the correct latex file with the inlined refs is created but
there is some problem with the copying that follows. Here is the stderr log
output by lyx in the process:
../../../src/support/FileName.cpp(254): Could not move
file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T12182/lyx_tmpbuf0/tmpfile.out
to
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T12182/lyx_tmpbuf0/issues-with-single-band-eff-mass-TISE-approach.tex
Error: Cannot convert file
----------------------------------------
Here is how I have set up the LTX2 format:
1. create new format named LTX2 in Tools->Preferences...->File handling->File
formats with the following settings:
check "Document format", Short name = ltx2, Extension = tex, (everything
else blank, including the "copier" field)
2. Create LaTeX (plain) -> LTX2 converter with following settings
Converter: python /home/rmanoj/Temp/InlineBib.py $$i $$o
Extra flag: needaux
My analysis:
------------------
I have attached InlineBib.py (which is a modified version of the earlier
script). Listing the temporary directory,
(/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T12182/lyx_tmpbuf0/) I find that this script has run
successfully and the final .tex file contains all inlined refs which is
compilable to DVI etc. The error therefore is in the following step of
copying this .tex file from the temp dir to the final dir.
The LyX export logic (in Buffer::doExport() and related) seem to analyze a
graph looking for path from source format to destination format and possibly
invoke a sequence of format conversions. In this chain, there is possibly
some assumption about temporary filenames that could be causing the above
error? I fail to see why the source file name should be "tmpfile.out" at all.
I am using variables like $$i and $$o that should pass around correct
filenames generated by LyX. Have I uncovered a bug?
