[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#329331: lyx: preview image should work, when filename extension is omitted

[Marco Herrn]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: wishlist

LaTeX is capable of recognizing the correct file of an image, when no
filename extension is given. This is quite useful for documents that
will be processed with latex _and_ pdflatex. 
For example one has an image as "sample.eps" for latex processing and
"sample.pdf" for pdf processing, it is sufficient to specify "sample"
as the image name. But then there is no preview of the image in the
lyx window. Would be nice if this could be added. Maybe display an eps
if available, otherwise try to display the pdf (is this is possible).

Regards
Marco
