A use case could be that you run a wrapper script instead of pdflatex directly (which includes texliveonfly, for instance), but still want LyX to treat the document as PDFLaTeX when it comes to the conversion of image formats, pdfsync, external material etc.). Apart from that, I'd say harcoding specific format names is not a good idea in general. Jürgen > > Scott >
