In my opinion, the greatest impediment to using Beamer with LyX is the lack of a portable version. I don't always travel with a laptop, which often means there is no way to make last minute changes to the presentation. Not an issue in powerpoint.

For a futre enhancement of LyX, it might also be worth adding .bib, .aux, and other such files between sessions. As others have pointed out, caching of these files might greatly improve the compilation time between sessions. And as most of them are text based, it would not greatly add to the s

Thanks BH, I had missed that setting, or completely misunderstood what it did. (At the moment, I'm much too addled to figure out which.) Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it did me much good. Even after enabling it, the book still takes ages to compile. But it would probably take ages if I ex

Hi Ivan, Instead of using the "View" PDF, use the "Export" option instead. This will create a copy of the PDF in the working directory. As I understand it, the "View" option is meant to look at the progress of your document rather than create a copy for distribution. Cheers, Rob On Jun 3,

I would like to control the management of output and auxiliary files. I would like to have LyX keep the output PDF automatically in the current working directory, and not delete it automatically. Now it creates it in a temporary directory and deletes it upon closing. Is there a way to do this.

I think that most of the slide transitions are not helpful, and serve no purpose, so I don't care about having them or not. Converting PP presentations to pdf is easy, and the output looks fine, just as the pdf output of Lyx/Beamer presentations. It is disappointing and frustrating that Impress
