Do you mean makexxxFile()? They are not const because they reset the texrow. I cannot imagine any other member function, because niceFile() was only used in makexxxFile(). > As for your relative/absolute path discussion: sounds good to me. > However, the man who wrote the code (and indeed who knows latex's ins > and outs far better than me) is Herbert. Maybe drop him a line and > ask him why the code is the way it is? His answer was that it had nothing to do with LaTeX but with tmpdir vs. nontmpdir setting. My conclusion: If LyX guarantees that the paths are correct it does not matter wether they are relative or not. Unless somebody comes up with reasons why this is not possible, I'll prepare a patch that makes relative paths when appropriate. Georg
