The files with the filename-extension ».lyx~« which LyX creates each time
you begin a new document are obviously the »LyX backups« for which one may
assign a special directory where they go. Otherwise they are saved in the
same directory as the .lyx file itself.
As far I suppose these .lyx~ files are for the case that LyX crashes or if
one inadvertently deletes the original .lyx file, isn't it?
Latest after closing the original .lyx file one can riskless delete them
(aside from the own - or others - inadvertent deletion of the original
file). Or have the .lyx~ files still another function?
In the LyX help docs I do not find something about this question, but I
woul like to delete the backup-files LyX produced so far.
Please give also positive echo, if I am right with the above.
regards,
joachim
P. S.
An option for that in LyX won't bad, e. g. "Delete file backups after
saving and closing the LyX document?"
