Documentation about the LyX user directory
Note: Under construction, please add information.
The location of the LyX user directory depends upon the system LyX is installed on. Some common locations are below.
- Linux and other Unix-like systems: usually found at
$HOME/.lyx, where $HOME is your home directory.
- Windows 2000/XP: usually at
C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\lyx1.4.x\
- Windows 95/98/ME:
C:\Program Files\lyx\Resources\lyx\ (note: needs to be confirmed - this looks a bit like the SystemDir)
The user directory typically contains the same subdirectories as the SystemDir:
bind/- files defining KeyboardShortcuts
clipart/-
doc/-
examples/-

kbd/-
layouts/- modified and additional layout files (see Concepts)
