Hi all,
I've verified a complaint by two Linux users on the user list that
image files
homed on a Windows share (Samba) are not copied to the temp directory
when you

produce any helpful output, though. Can someone tell me the steps
that lead LyX
to create a copy of an image file with suitably mangled name in the
temp buffer.
I manually ran the tex_copy.py script, and that had no problem
copying the
file, but I'm not sure that's what LyX uses. Any hints?
The copying is triggered in InsetGraphics::latex(), which calls
InsetGraphics::prepareFile() to do the work. This eventually calls
copyToDirIfNeeded(), which calls copyFileIfNeeded(). I'm not sure why
this would fail with files on Windows shares, but will see if I can
find out.
I just tried this myself, with both current branch and current trunk,
and I was not able to reproduce the problem. The file was a JPEG and so
had to be converted. I also tried it with a PNG, which did not, and that
was also fine.
Any further info?
Richard
