This probably would solve the problem too. And I’m not that confident it is only Windows or Mac platform having this problem. If a Linux desktop manager software programmer decides it would be correct to start programs from menu or desktop icons at some arbitrary directory like / or /var/private or so we have the same problem on Linux. Your goal was to start LyX from terminal with current directory as document dir. Wouldn’t it be better to provide a command line option to choose the initial document dir explicitly? Stephan
