Windows/Kubuntu dual use

Post by Nic »

Hi there

I'm currently writing my masters thesis in Lyx. The problem is that I have Windows XP installed on my pc at home but Kubuntu on my office pc. I write both at home and at the office. I want to know if there's a way to use "relative folder paths" when inserting images. (when i try and create a pdf on my Kubuntu machine it tries to find the images in C:/MScThesis/Images)

Thanks

Hi Nic,

welcome to the board!
You could for instance just use

Code: Select all

\includegraphics{subfolder/image}
to include an image located in the subfolder below the main document folder. \includegraphics can work with relative paths.
