Paul, Thanks for the response. The problem seems to be that the working directory is permanently set as my home directory, /home/dhalpern. Reading the information that appears in preferences about paths, it clearly states that the working directory should be the directory from which one starts lyx. However, I've tried starting lyx from different directories, and the working directory does not change. It's always set as the home directory. Is this a bug? The way around seems to be to change the working directory while working on a particular project, but this is not optimal.
I am using Lyx 2.3.6.1, a fedora 36 binary package. I tried to compile myself but it failed. David Halpern On Mon, Jul 25, 2022 at 9:34 AM Paul A.
