Image paths when exporting from Lyx

[muzzle]

Hello everyone,
I have partially solved my previous issue
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/524505/image-path-when-exporting-from-lyx/552722#552722.


The one problem I have left is that lyx removes the image extension when
exporting to latex (when using the "nice" flag); this forces me to specify
the image extension in the pandoc command which is not very flexible. Do
you have any idea how to get lyx to output the image file name including
the extension?

Best,

Emme
