Same message on lyx-1.4.2 Solaris, but the file seems to be moved in the directory of the document, where I find also all the ancillary files created by htlatex, e.g for file /tmp/fr_exemple_lyxifie.lyx -> ls /tmp/fr_exemple_lyxifie* /tmp/fr_exemple_lyxifie.4ct /tmp/fr_exemple_lyxifie.4tc ... In addition, if fr_example_lyxifie.html does exist already, there is no overwrite warning, as export is called by View and not Export. I guessed the originaldir extra flag in Preferences->Converter->Latex(plain) to HTML could had something to do with this behavior: it is added for htlatex to deal correctly with eps files (fr_exemple_lyxifie has none). If I suppress it, the html file is opened by the viewer, but is still created in document dir (without overwrite warning either). IMHO, View->HTML should view in temp file to leave all these ancillary files out of the way, which is the case when I leave the extra flags field empty by removing needaux. I understand from lyxrc.example that in this case export will fail if there are graphic files: is this still the case ? It seems to work all right on a simple example here. So the question is: are these flags still needed ? Is there someting wrong with them anyway ? -- Jean-Pierre
