Hi,
after reading, testing, ... here's my solution, in a ERT:
\begin{figure}[H] \parbox{.48\linewidth} { \centering\includegraphics*{pic1.ps} \caption{Picture 1} } \hfill \parbox{.48\linewidth} { \centering\includegraphics*{pic2.ps} \caption{Picture 2} } \end{figure}
Here both pictures a placed side-by-side, each with a separate caption, an each with a separate entry in the list of figures.
This solution is fine. Note that the same is possible without ERT too, because lyx support all these commands natively. (Well, lyx doesn't support parbox, but minipage does the same thing.)
My way of doing this is:
Insert a figure float. Go inside, set the paragraph type to "satandard" instead of the default "caption" Insert two minipages inside the float
(insert->minipage) with a hfill (insert->special->hfill) between them.
Set each minipage to 50% of COL or less.
In each minipage, include graphichs (insert->graphichs) Center the graphichs using layout->pragraph.
Press enter after each graphich, to get a new paragraph. Set the paragraph type to caption, and enter caption text.
