Lets say, I have in my home folder a folder A, which contains folder B with my lyx file LL.lyx and all the figures, .bib-file and .bst file.

If I export it as LL.tar.gz the figures will be saved as /A/B/fig1, /A/B/fig2 etc. If I would like to send it to my colleague, he has to create the same folders /A/B/ and unpack the .gz file there. It would be nicer to send it to him in such a way that it does not matter where he unpacks it, i.e. send the content as fig1, fig2 etc.

I can do it by opening the lyx file with a text editor and replace all "/A/B/fig's" by "fig's", but it would be nicer to do this inside lyx. I could think of the following: I include the fig's and lyx is prevented from saving them as /A/B/fig's but to use fig's. Or lyx offers a way to get rid of the folders in front of the fig's.

The same issue turns up if I shift the content of my working folder to another one.

How would you proceed
