Thank you Andrew,

I have indeed done all this but my error was to set the destination format as Latex(pdflatex). When I have switched to Latex(plain), Markdown is shown indeed as an import option. I imagine that the Latex->Lyx chain is only defined for the plain version. 

I now will be able to outline in iThoughts mind map app and then importe in Lyx for developing the document. :-)

LyX is an amazing tool for writing. I hate when people make me work in RTF/Word or convert my documents in a strange format (like I,Design) that completely breaks my write/revise cycle. :-(

Best regards,

Murat
