It is clumsy, but I have been annoyed often enough by programs like powerpoint that change paths from relative to absolute and break things that I know I don't want lyx to behave like that. > As for naming, why not > > /home/angus/parent.lyx > /home/angus/foo/child.lyx > /home/angus/foo/bar/image.fig > > image.fig would have: > > $$Basename --- "image" This is nice: The meaning is closer to the shell command "basename" > $$Extension --- ".fig" > $$AbsPath --- "/home/angus/" > $$RelPath_Parent --- "bar/" > $$RelPath_Master --- "foo/bar/" IMHO we still need a bit of magic, otherwise we are not able to preserve absolute file names. For example: $$AbsPathOrRelPath_Parent --- "bar/" $$AbsPathOrRelPath_Master --- "foo/bar/" for "filename image.fig" in parent.lyx and $$AbsPathOrRelPath_Parent --- "/home/angus/foo/bar/" $$AbsPathOrRelPath_Master --- "/home/angus/foo/bar/" for "filename /home/angus/foo/bar/image.fig" in parent.lyx. $$RelPath_Parent and $$RelPath_Master are not needed for the current templates, but are maybe useful for something I can't imagine right now. > > What happened to this one?
