Hi Vincent,Scott last year moved some template files to the examples folder because they failed with "new from template". That was incorrect, they are still template files and instead of moving they should have been changed so that LaTeX's xampl.bib file is used as discussed.
To do so, can I revert?: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/3471874ed09c8b78addb9a5df260379014cab52b/lyxgit
thanks and regards Uwe
