Thanks David and Stephan.

My problem is that I'm working on a multi-file project so under the tmp
directory there are several directories and the location of the Latex file depends on the file I compiled (and of course the tmp directory has a different
name each time under windows).

What I used to do until few months ago is opening the Latex log, and there I saw the full path to the compiled file, so I could copy it to a Latex editor. After some updates to Lyx & Latex, I see in the log only the file name without
the path.

I can (and this is what I do) to find the current tmp directory and then
searching for all the Latex files to find the right one by its name.
I hoped there is an option to return to the previous state of easily finding
the directory with a click.

Dear List,

(continuing on lyx-devel)


Here's a proof-of-concept patch to add an “Open directory…” button to the log dialog. I did it very quickly which is why I only call it “proof-of-concept”. If we want to commit this then at least somebody with better QtDesigner skills should add the button to the interface in a more proper way.

I, too, used to spend too much time finding the proper lyxtmpdir (for various reasons ranging from debugging the latex output using divide-and-conquer when LyX's debugging facility was unsufficient, to debugging instant preview).
Your proposed button would also solve #9211 "Make the lyxpreview.log files accessible within LyX".

And I think it's not too bad to expose the LyX internals in this way.

What do you think?


Guillaume
