It would not be difficult to parse user configuration, but in the first approximation I decided not to do this. Instead, you can pass the option -t <tmp dir> to specify /tmp2 as the tempdir where to look for lyx_tmpdir... In regard to '\use_tempdir false', even in this case lyx creates lyx_tmpdir... in /tmp (but it doesn't use it to store temporary .tex, .dvi, etc), so I think that there is no problem in still using it. > Of course, here I have my preferences in ~/.lyx-1.3.x/preferences > because I passed --with-version-suffix to configure... So if lyxclient is to be parsing user configuration, the --with-version-suffix must also modify lyxclient configuration. Not difficult to do, but we may postpone, don't you think? Regards, João.
