Ventura graphics Mac

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

On 2.3.7 and Intel 13.1, I can also not use the File Browser to insert
graphics.  But then I haven't inserted graphics for a while.  On the
2.3.7 on an intel 12.6.2 I don't see that behavior.

The alternative proposed here makes not sense whatsoever to me,
especially on an M1.  The (speed) limiting factor is LaTeX (in
particular LuLaTeX).

Universal binary in any case means that on the M1 the M1 binary runs and
on the Intel the Intel binary.  However, even running the Intel binary
on the M1 under Rosetta makes no real difference, other than that it
loads slower.  But since LyX is set up to open at login I would not even
care.
