Anyone had the same issues and knows a solution or workaround? Why do you need to do this? If you insert graphichs with Insert-graphichs (instead of using \includegraphics directly) then the temp directory shouldn't cause you trouble. Are you sure you need to use \includegraphics?

Re: Howto disable use of temporary directory?
I have a similar problem with path names which included spaces or strange chars (like ñ letters in spanish). I found a workaround moving objects to folder which did not included any spaces or this chars. Regards, Mariano.

Unfortunately i can't find a setting in LyX that allows to turn off temporary directory. Delete the temporary directory path in LyX's preferences. But I would be patient since this might cause troubles in other fields. regards Uwe
