If there is a file ~/.lyx/preferences, it is read instead of ~/.lyx/lyxrc. In fact, I'd rather surprised ~/.lyx/lyxrc is read at all... Nope you're right. Here's the code: readRcFile("lyxrc.defaults"); system_lyxrc = lyxrc; system_formats = formats; system_converters = converters; system_lcolor = lcolor; // If there is a preferences file we read that instead // of the old lyxrc file. if (!readRcFile("preferences")) readRcFile("lyxrc"); So, shove all the stuff in ~/.lyx/lyxrc in the ~/.lyx/preferences file and away you go. > file is ignored. > > I can get around this problem by adding the lines to the preferences > file, but I presume they'll be lost if I change any of the > preferences. > > I'm using LyX 1.3.4. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? My interpretation is that you're doing something wrong. -- Angus
