When I insert a graphics into my LyX document with the gui ("Insert>Include 
graphics"), even when the graphics file is in the same root directory as the 
lyx file, a copy of that file (with a different name, though; its new name is 
`0_Users_username_long_path_to_file_myfile`) is created in the temporary 
directory.

A look in the tex file that lyx creates in that temp dir also reveals the 
following few lines right at its beginning:

\batchmode
\makeatletter
\def\input@path{{/Users/udi/Downloads/}}
\makeatother

Why is it?

On the other hand, when I include the graphics with ERT code, a copy of the 
image file is not created in the temp dir, but the same tex code from above is 
still there.

It's not a bug; Everything works fine, I just try to understand the way that 
LyX works.
