We found the problem, it was my fault that I accidentally forgot two third-party executables in the 
current installer release. I'll provide a new installer this weekend.

For the file inserted with the LyX dialog: 
PSfile="0C__Documents_and_Settings_xx_Desktop_mypaper_mypic.eps"


I understand the issue with DVI and quoted paths and the need to run 
clean_dvi.py, but I don't understand why this worked fine with 1.6.1 and 
now doesn't with 1.6.2. If I export Latex code and run pplatex on it 
manually the results are just fine. In fact, the resulting DVI doesn't 
have any path information at all. It is just PSfile="mypic.eps".



For comparison, when I use LyX 1.6.1 the DVI has the following:

For the file in the header with the manual includegraphics: 
PSfile="C:/Documents and Settings/xx/Desktop/mypaper//mypic.eps"
For the file inserted with the LyX dialog: 
PSfile="0C__Documents_and_Settings_xx_Desktop_mypaper_mypic.eps"


The quotes are not around the path. Why has this behavior changed and how 
can I work around the problem?




Shooting from the hip (I don't have 1.6.2 yet, and since I'm in the 
middle of a LyX-heavy critical project I'm not going to install it for a 
while), have you tried putting the full path to the graphic file 
(suitably quoted) in the includegraphics command in the header as a 
workaround?

1.6.2 handling of graphics paths changed from 1.6.1.

Hello,

I have a LyX document that includes graphics in the header, i.e., 
ERT:\lhead{\includegraphics{mypic.eps}}. In LyX 1.6.1 this worked 
perfectly when producing DVI. I recently upgraded to 1.6.2 (on Windows) 
and the graphic no longer is displayed in the DVI. I used the LyX 
mechanism for inserting the graphic in the document body and it shows up 
fine. When I inspect the generated DVI I see the following differences:

For the file in the header with the manual includegraphics: 
PSfile=""C:/Documents and Settings/xx/Desktop/mypaper/"/mypic.eps"
For the file inserted with the LyX dialog: 
PSfile="0C__Documents_and_Settings_xx_Desktop_mypaper_mypic.eps"

I understand the issue with DVI and quoted paths and the need to run 
clean_dvi.py, but I don't understand why this worked fine with 1.6.1 and 
now doesn't with 1.6.2. If I export Latex code and run pplatex on it 
manually the results are just fine. In fact, the resulting DVI doesn't 
have any path information at all. It is just PSfile="mypic.eps".

PSfile="0C__Documents_and_Settings_xx_Desktop_mypaper_mypic.eps"

The quotes are not around the path. Why has this behavior changed and how 
can I work around the problem?
