Yes, I can confirm. I’m able to configure a user defined temporary directory (again) on Mac too. While we are at it - I think it’s a feature and not a bug: the change in preferences is not applied until next restart. The preferences dialog suggests another behavior. The checkbox „Apply to current session only“ makes one think it’s applied immediately. Stephan -- lyx-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
