The "graphic groups" in lyx is a nice timesaver, no need to apply the
same settings over and over. Just put the images in the same group.
My wish for a slight improvement:
Whenever a new graphic is created, put it in the same group as the
previous graphic object the user dealt with.
Currently, the default is "no group". But anyone who actually use
graphic groups tend to see a common case: They insert many graphics, and
set them all to the same group. Even more work is saved, if the group
defaults to the last group used.
And there is not much of a penalty for those who need to insert some "no
group" pictures, for after they insert the first one, the rest will
default to "no group" (since "no group" then becomes the last group
setting used.)
