Are you kidding?
For 10 files, doing it manually would have been faster than writing
the email to the list!

Well, you see, my hope is if there was a feature that I didn't know of
then I could continue to do this many times. Taking snapshots and
inserting them is a common need. Saving them (in the future) in a
particular directory (where my lyx file lives) instead of letting them
go to the desktop is a possibility, but I would argue that sometimes
you want to snapshot more than what you will later wish to insert. So
it could be convenient.
I guess I had in mind a feature that Scientific Workplace has: you can
save a file in a wrapped format that then saves all the figures and
next time you open this file format it creates a .tex file with all
the figure files in the directory you open the file in and with new
relative file addresses for your graphics. I was hoping there might be
something similar in lyx, since that would do it.
In other words, if I have to send a lyx document to someone, my only
recourse is to figure out what all the accessory figure files are and
send them along too?
