Creating several files of Lyx

Post by aorestrup »

Every time I save a file, say test.lyx, LyX creates several other files. For instance test - 116120.lyx, test-a22572, ....
What does it mean? how can I avoid it? My LyX version is 2.2.1
Thanks

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

What is your operating system? Are the files created and then immediately deleted or do they stick around even after you exit LyX? Are the files created in the same directory as the .lyx file that you're working on?
