You can add your editor for gnuplot in
Tools->Preferences...->File Handling->File Formats->Format->Gnuplot
Here, set Editor to e.g. gvim.

keep the plotting programs on hand (at the moment I do it by
putting the corresponding program in a note, from where I can
copy/paste it if changes are needed).


Rather than copying/pasting changes, have you tried 
Insert->File->Child document and using the "Input" option to include 
the external file?  I routinely do this when I prepare TikZ graphics.
This method has the disadvantage, that it is shown in the pdf output 
(whereas in a note it is not). Furthermore there is no line break in 
it, which is bad for a program

I just tried a few simple plots from pyxplot using the ending
.gp instead of .plot and it worked just fine. I hope, it is
not too difficult to adapt pyxplot to lyx; however, I
realize, the devil is in the details.


Are you able to provide a MWE to demonstrate what you did that was 
successful with some description of how you would like it to work 
instead?  A clear goal might help a developer assess feasibility.

Joel, here we are. It's not a MWE per se, but I included also a few more 
simple examples. One devil in detail is already here, but may be its me 
(ENGELman):
If I export it as tar.gz, only the example Textdatei.gp is included 
(that's the one from the example given).
I have not tried yet Insert->File->Child document and using the "Input" 
option to include the external file, but will do so. Thanks for your advice.
