I am not sure. The whole purpose of \origin is to support the case when somebody copies a file to a different location outside of LyX (instead of using "Save As" in LyX, which adjusts all paths correctly). If we now introduce a setting \is_lyx_doc then we would need to reset this setting automatically on loading. Otherwise the image references of a document that was copied from the LyX doc folder to some other location would be wrong. But if we reset the flag, then we get the same trouble that we do currently get with \origin. Or we make it the responsibility of the user to reset the flag, but I don't think that this would work: \origin is only for the lazy users who do not think of copying the referenced files as well if they copy a LyX document. They will not think of resetting a flag either I guess. > The > documentor's toolbar could also magically kick in when editing such a > file (in non readonly mode). This would be possible already, by testing for \origin starting with "/systemlyxdir". Georg
