Hi all,
I came across the situation when some of my older lyx files could no longer 
compile under new versions of LyX. lyx2lyx goes smoothly but pdf generation 
fails.

The reason is that I was using graphics files that were visible for latex (via 
kpsewhich), but not for LyX. As a results, new versions of LyX exports latex 
with additional parameters (line 774, InsetGraphics.cpp):
"bb = 0 0 200 100, draft, type=eps"
which is inappropriate e.g. for .pdf files.

Is there any reason why "type=eps" is default?

The easiest solution would be just to remove it. I believe that "draft" is 
enough to compile it if the file is truly missing.

Personally, I would like to make use of kpsewhich in lyx. I think that I would 
be able to provide a patch for linux, but I am not sure how it works 
cross-platform. Any advice?

Best,
Vasek
