There is an existing one which is marked as implemented as follows: Paste graphic from clipboard: prompt for filename/location (but have reasonable defaults to allow things to go quickly), save clipboard picture, and include into the lyx document at the cursor location. (Motivation: I take notes in LyX during mathematical lectures, and I often want to include figures. With a tablet PC, it's quite easy to get the figure into the computer in real-time, but there are many steps to get that figure into LyX -- it's difficult to do it in real-time. How can that process be streamlined? May also help to allow graphics to be stored within the LyX file, so the user doesn't have to bother coming up with path/filename for each figure?) → New in 1.6 but as the statement says, "have reasonable defaults to allow things to go quickly" It's not implemented completely , we can go quicker by not showing the save dialog at all, and allow for some default image display parameters to be set somewhere. (for example, I almost edit the width to 15 cm every time). Should I edit the Feature Request poll wiki page to get my wish delivered ? I think this request lies in the same feature request for a XML native .lyx format; since including images inside an xml is so easy and does not require aditional files to be saved. Read the thread about the XML native format named "Would a native LyX XML schema be accepted?". Regards Alex
