That is not additional functionality, it is basic functionality. Exporting an incomplete .tex file is additional functionality. Why do you normally want to export to .tex? Because you need to give the document to somebody who wants to process it but does not have LyX, e.g. the publisher or a coworker. These people do also need the converted graphics. Go search the mailing list archives, this question came up several times, and we always needed to tell people to go to some obscure temp dir and grab some files from there. Now it is easier to get all needed files. What Jens is talking about is expert usage that should require the additional switch (I'll answer later to his post). > Nor it is necessary to also overwrite included material with a copy > from the lyx tmpdir, thus modifying the timestamp of a file. > http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2434 Last time I tried I could not reproduce this bug. This behaviour is not intended, and if anybody is able to reproduce that I'll be glad to help to fix that. The intended behaviour is to only overwrite files that would be generated by LyX. For .tex files this means if they are exported from a LyX file. > Note that you cannot skip the copy without aborting the entire process. IIRC that is reported as a bug somewhere else in bugzilla. What is missing here is a "Don't overwrite anything but continue to export" button. Georg
