You also need \format

Note that currently there is no difference between converters used for
exporting and converter used for importing, but I am going to add a field to
the Command class, that stores the type of the converter.

The pdf_mode and use_gui should not be edited in the preferences dialog
as their value is set by LyX and it is not stored in lyxrc/preferences
(so perhaps they should be moved from lyxrc).

Flag telling whether to automatically reverse number in RTL text
(It should be grouped with rtl_support, but I don't think anyone will want to
set it to false, so it can be left out from the dialog).

For example, the viewers tab can be implemented using a browser with all the
viewable formats, two text inputs (format/viewer) and add/delete/replace
buttons:
+----------+ +----------------+
|dvi | format |dvi |
|ps | +----------------+
| | +----------------+
| | viewer |xdvi |
+----------+ +----------------+
+---+------+-------+
|Add|Delete|Replace|
+---+------+-------+
The same idea can be used for converter/bind keys.
