I was not speaking of multiple temporary directories within one section. But I think I see your point. My approach is from LaTeX — all temp files are in the same directory as the main tex-file. > You might try setting up a second > user directory, and launching Lyx with: > lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/ > when you need to do so. > I've tried what you suggest: lyx -userdir /media/truecrypt1/tmp, where /media/truecrypt1/ is where the truecrypt volume is mounted. On start up, LyX correctly ask me if a new directory /tmp needs to be created, put there lots of files but the PDF file during the preview is still built here: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.M22932/ (the number always changes). So basically, the temp folder is not put into a userdir. Can I control the location of the temp folder during startup?
