commenting a figure float (bug?)

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi... I have a figure float in my document and this float is 
commented... so it doesn't show up in the ouput.. but when LyX tries to 
view pdflatex then it tries to convert this eps figure to pdf and gives 
me an error saying epstopdf couldn't convert the eps to pdf.. this file 
was created in Adobe Illustrator and for some reason epstopdf can't 
convert it to pdf (and hence I get the error) but the question is - 
should LyX *try* to convert this figure which is in a comment? The pdf 
output shows up fine though (w/o the figure i.e.) so that's not a 
problem, just that the error box pops up... I'm not sure if this can be 
called a bug or if this is something intentional...
