I suspect that there could be some kind of misunderstanding here between us. :-) Even without talking to Riki I think that the suggestion of implementing this in the next development version refers to the *User* LyXDir. This is directory is under the direct control of the user and so all your remarks make sense. In an hypothetical scenario, that is not being considered, if we decided to implement this in *a* system LyXDir then the best way would be to add a new, configurable, path where LyX would look into and never to place this directly under the system LyXDir. > If you're using Linux, you could create a symlink to this file in > LyXDir, thus getting the best of both worlds. > > SteveT > > Steve Litt Best regards, -- José Abílio -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
