I am using the latest versions of LyX and zotero. What I want is pretty simple: to import citations in LyX from zotero — and to import new papers into zotero and have zotero auto-update the .bib file I'm using in LyX.
How can this be done?
The workflow I'm currently using is very awkward and silly: Every single time I add something to zotero, I have to export all my zotero items into a the same bib file, and from there LyX takes on. I'm certain this can be done otherwise zotero is terrible for a paying service.
In other words, how can zotero have a single bib file that's updated once a new zotero item is included? I'm sorry if this is a trivial question, but I couldn't find anything on the web.

Try installing Better BibTeX.
With this extension you can export your library to BibTeX and set it to automatically update when you edit your database.
To my knowledge, what you ask can be done only with this extension.
