I see your point now. Unlike InsetInclude and InsetGraphics where a file must be a file, this thing can be any where... so it can not be represented by any FileName stuff. Note that I never know the possibility of using a bib file in some sort of $PATH. > And there are more problems I'm just discovering. > is also wrong, because it's (again) treating "biblio" and "IEEEexample" > as if they are pathnames, which (again) they are not. This is the same mistake. biblio is not a filename and there is no way to tell where it is in lyx. It is clear that most bibtex/embed related stuff should be reverted. Now the real question is: how do we embed bib files if a user really wants to embed them??? Bo
