The .lyx file is text, so you could use something like sed, or open it in a text editor and do a global S&R.
Paul, Duh! Of course. Having switched from LaTeX in emacs to LyX I first think to use the GUI rather than emacs. Of course, I do most writing and data munging in emacs so I have no excuse.
FWIW, I typically uses relative paths to figures. On something I'm working on now, there's an "images" subfolder in its home folder, and so figures refer to "images/<filename>". As long as I keep the images folder together with the document in a move, I shouldn't need to update anything.
I, too, put figures in an images/ subdirectory, but sometimes there are more than one of those when the document integrates multiple subjects (e.g., spatial, biological, chemical, and statistical). Thanks for pointing out the obvious. :-) Regards, Rich
