Sometimes LyX generates and saves files with the form:
#filename#
What does this mean?
These are files stored by LyX in the autosave routine that is conducted
in a given interval. It is used to restore unsaved changes if the
program crashes.
The file should be removed if you really save your file.
That should probably be clarified in the "User's Guide". Currently, this
is not so:
"C.1.2.2 Backup & saving
Backup original documents when saving creates a backup copy of the file
in the state when it was opened or when it was saved the last time. It
is stored in the Backup directory (see section [sec:Paths]) or in the
same folder as your document if no Backup directory is specified. The
backup file has the file extension “.lyx~”.
With the option Backup documents, every, you can specify the time
between backup saves."
So, something should be added like
"This backup file has the format “#<filename>.lyx#”."
Maybe even add these filename conventions to the Preferences dialog.
Best,
Daniel
