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,

2010-06-03 Thread Ivan Werning
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.
