I've always used the full paths to scripts in converters, but I
interpret the Customization manual to suggest that I only need to use
the base name:

"Save it in your local LyX directory—say,
/home/you/.lyx/scripts/pdfcopier.sh—and make it executable... enter
pdfcopier.sh $$i $$o into the Copier field"

When I do that, LyX does not find the script (whether or not I reconfigure):

env: pdfcopier.sh: No such file or directory
support/Systemcall.cpp (275): Systemcall: 'pdfcopier.sh
"newfile1.tex"' finished with exit code 127
Error: Cannot view file
----------------------------------------
File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.oSJyNpB31268/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile1.pdf

Further, the wiki page here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserDir
suggests that the "scripts" folder is "Only useful if you hack on [the
library] scripts."

Am I misinterpreting the Customization manual or following the
instructions wrong?
