Again out of curiosity, what is the mechanism (cross-platform) for this?
When you double click in a file explorer on a JPG file a program is opened showing the JPG. This works on all platforms. The "auto" setting does nothing special, but simply call e.g. test.jpg The OS does the rest. So this is the same as if you would have clicked on the image file in a file explorer. The problem was that we haven't specified "auto" or anything else so that the entry "Edit file externally" didn't show up when right clicking on an (e.g. WMF) image file in LyX. regards Uwe
