Why not? One less thing to worry about keeping synched. I see that 13x comes with converters defined xfig->eps and xfig->ppm It is trivially easy to add a converter xfig->pdf. Either add this line to your .lyx/preferences file: \converter fig pdf "fig2dev -L pdf $$i $$o" "" or open up the preferences dialog and play with the converters section. Note that in 1.4.x I'd recommend that you use the External inset for xfig images, but not for 1.3.x. -- Angus
