I have a worry here about what happens to associated files. E.g., if you
export a master document, where do the exported children go, and with
what names? This makes me wonder whether all we should really allow the
user to provide is a directory, and then LyX should export everything to
that directory, or under it, or whatever makes sense.
This would be similar to OpenOffice: they only have an option for an
output folder, not for an output file name.
Thinking aloud:
-) a destination folder might be inferred from the destination
file-name, i.e., its immediately containing folder.
-) I think for some formats a file-name makes perfectly sense (pdf),
while for others (html, latex, ...) we would need (also) a folder. In
the former case, I would really dislike the fact that I could decide the
file name, but only the folder. I know that can be overcome with proper
scripting (e.g., look at the acrobatic things I had to do in the
libreoffice2eps.sh script, just because libreoffice doesn't have an
option for the output filename).
-) one possible way to go might be 2 options, one for the export folder,
another for the master export filename (independently of the syntax that
may support that)
-) what do we do with subfolders ? Re-create the folder structure in the
destination folder (a'la mkdir -p) ? That seems the only reasonable
behavior.
