First: it's nice now to have an export/view of a pdflatex'ed file.
But there is a problem (or two) with inserted figures, if you want to use
pdflatex.
There is no option 'pdftex' in Document Layout -> Extra -> PS Driver.
It would be very easy if lyx would create automatically a preamble like this:
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} % or whatever PS Driver I want
\else
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} % We are running pdfLaTeX
\pdfinfo{
/Title (Produced with LyX and pdfLaTeX)
/Author (...)
}
\fi
Note: graphicX is necessary for pdftex (at least for my setup - tetex 1.0.7).
Another (more cosmetic) approvement would be if the known suffixes of the
figures are extended to *.pdf *.mps *.png ...
