Looks like a very good idea. But I'd suggest using something human
readable as the mangling. Eg, this:
dir1/main.lyx
dir2/sub.lyx
dir3/sub.lyx
becomes:
main.lyx
dot_dot_slash_dir2_slash_sub.lyx
dot_dot_slash_dir3_slash_sub.lyx
Ie, we do not mangle '.' in the file name. Further, I don't see any
need to mangle '_' itself.
My understanding is that you intend to place all included files in the
directory of the master lyx file. Will it cope with this:
main.lyx
foo1/doc/sub.lyx # contains \includegraphics{../image.eps}
foo1/fig/image.eps
foo2/doc/sub.lyx # contains \includegraphics{../image.eps}
foo2/doc/image.eps
Presumably the temp dir should contain
main.lyx
foo1_doc_sub.lyx
foo1_fig_image.eps
foo2_doc_sub.lyx
foo2_fig_image.eps
(modulo any changes to the name mangling.)
