Yes - a list which can also include wildcards - that would be optimal.

sorry - you lost me here.
I am using an external preamble (preamble.tex) which is in the same
directory as the LyX file, and which is included in the lyx file with
\input{preamble.tex}
in the LyX preamble. This is NOT copied automatically, but works, as in the
resulting LaTeX document,
\def\in...@path{{/PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/WITH/test.lyx}}
That gives me an idea: is it possible to define a search path for LaTeX?
Then this one could be set to the LyX directory, and most things should
work.
But still: having the option of files to be copied would be also useful for
Sweave, which use data files to be analysed.
