Hello, I would like to have the LaTeX .log file be automatically put into the folder where I have my .lyx file once the LyX file is compiled. This behavior would be similar to what occurs with LaTeX already when compiling a .tex file. Currently, the .log file is put into a temporary directory by LyX. I understand how to change the path for the temporary directory (Preferences > Paths) which sort of works, but I would also like to remove the set of randomly generated folders that come with it, like "lyx_tmpdir.WrDLwXBld464\lyx_tmpbuf2", before I can get to my .log file.
I understand how to see the .log file from within LyX itself (Document > LaTeX Log), so this request my seem odd! The real reason that I want to be able to better control this LyX behavior is because I am using a LaTeX package (StatRep - SAS's "equivalent" to knitr for R) which generates some additional files (SAS program) that I need to easily access. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide! Note that I am using LyX 2.1.1 in Windows 7. Chris Bilder bilder "at" unl "dot" edu
