Then, why do you put a browse button next to the droplist in the
bibtex dialog, if all .bst files should be under global or local texmf
tree, and be listed in the droplist?

I totally agree. I think it is a good idea to install Lyx to c:\lyx by default.

I totally agree. I think it is a good idea to install Lyx to c:\lyx by default.
This will save us from some troubles, but not all. Most windows users
save their files under "...\My Documents" or "... and

Dear list,
Under linux, I can put a customized .bst file with the lyx file and
use it in the 'bibtex bibliography" dialog. This does not work under
windows. Is it because bibtex can not find the .bst file?

Hi, Uwe,
I notice a problem. I have a customized layout file. If I put it under
c:\document and settings\username\Application Data\Lyx\layouts,
lyx->reconfigure can not find it. (Lyx can detect this layout if I put
it under the system layouts folder.) Can anyone confirm this bug?
Cheers,
