Getting the tempdir stuff right is a major pain. Without the tempdir it is e.g. hard to tell which files are created y intermediate steps and need to be cleaned up afterwards. Copying everything to a temporary directory gives us a 'cleaner working environment'. The problem now is, of course, to decide what 'dependent' files should be copied, too. [And as long as LyX doesn't include all its dependencies it's hard to throw the first stone...] In this particular we could probably work around somehow as the .fig file is human readable... Andre'
