[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#683487: lyx: export toolbar causes export to wrong folder

[Chris Malton]

Package: lyx
Version: 2.0.3-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When choosing any of the export options from the View/Export toolbar, the files
are exported into the wrong folder.
On the particular run in question, files were dumped into
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ5838/lyx_tmpbuf2/ rather than the folder containing the
original lyx document.

These lyx documents were originally authored in a previous version of lyx.

It looks like somewhere the copy command that copied the output file back to
where the original file was placed is now missing.
It is possible to work around it by choosing the appropriate option from File
-> Export

Please could this be investigated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Chris Malton
