Several versions of lastfiles? Hmmm, but how would that work, practically? Lastfiles is stored in preferences, which is shared, unless you have a separate user directory for ~/.lyx, but then you also have different files for lastfiles! When changing the lastfiles file in preferences does not update the lastfiles menu item to the new setting! Because lastfiles is stored in the common preferences file, it's not possible to use different lastfile files. So the filename lastfiles should be hardcoded and not be changeable in the prefs. Rob.
