Yes, exactly. More precisely, the file browser opened by LyX. I now tried it on a native Windows version of LyX and that option exists. However, I was not able to perform step 6, because I am apparently hit by http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9235, even though that bug was only reported against the development version. If this is also the case for you (I am not sure this is something affecting only my own build and usage of LyX on a mixed cygwin/windows environment), please report it at that ticket. If so, you can try applying the patch at http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/417c233d/lyxgit In this case, it is very easy. You only need editing the configure.py file in your LyX installation (it is a text file) and change the lines marked in red as shown in the lines marked in green (they are only two lines and there may be a slight mismatch in the line numbers, as that patch refers to the development version). -- Enrico
