Hello all, First I would like to thank the developers of LyX, I think that is a great tool.
As we all know, since version 1.1 and 1.2 for LyX there has been some changes in the way graphic files are handled, which is fine in most cases but does cause additional work when exporting xfig diagrams in pdf files. png files are horrid when presenting line art, eps and pdf are much better. The problem is that the default behaviour has changed in version 1.2, now the extension of the figure must be specified whereas is version 1.1 it could be left off and then LaTeX would use the best format possible. Now the extension must be specified and LyX decides to use it own rules. The question is how can the default rule for xfig files be changed so that when generating dvi files LyX uses eps graphics and when generating pdf files it uses pdf files? Or alternatively is there a way when exporting as a LaTeX file to remove the extension from the figure filenames, I read that this happens internally? At the moment I export the file as a LaTeX file and manually edit out the extensions and use a make file to build the eps and pdf for the graphics and then the pdf and dvi files. Thanks in advance Duncan BTW We're using LyX 1.2.1
