I finally believe that we always should output the extension. See also http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764. The original purpose of leaving out the extension (making the file work with both pdflatex and latex) is not valid anymore, since we have a separate export format for pdflatex that does also take other differences into account. Unless somebody complains I will make the graphics inset unconditionally output the extension soon. Georg
