Now I am confused. The line in lib/external_templates that defines the latex
output for the raster image template reads now
Product "\\includegraphics$$Arg{$$Basename}"
How would you change it if you don't want the variable to contain
automatically the right filename?
BTW, I have to correct myself, we don't only need to change $$FName, but
also $$Basename. So having an $$Absolutename for editing/converting is
probably a good idea.

No.
