Well this is where you fall down. LyX 1.4.x will always use a temporary dir. We have discontinued the option to not use a temp dir. It was impossible to maintain. In fact it was impossible to get it right in the first place. The temporary dir contains everything that is needed to create the document. The names of the graphics files are mangled, sure enough, but they are still human readable. Guess where the original of these files are to be found: 0_home_aleem_lyx_devel_lib_doc_mobius.eps 1_home_aleem_lyx_devel_lib_doc_escher-lsd.eps 2_home_aleem_lyx_devel_lib_doc_platypus.eps > Then, File>Export>PS, File>Export>LaTeX (in this order) and all is under > the current dir. -- Angus
