On screen looks fuzzy but formats perfectly in pdf. I upgraded to Ventura at the same time as upgrading to 2.3.7 which was dumb but this looks more like a file location recognition issue now to me. Thanks so much for your help - it’s not solved but a work around exists which is an enormous relief- Thanks! This surely must be a Lyx issue … with Ventura. I had to upgrade to Ventura for other reasons related to Dropbox.

>>> This definitely appears to be a Ventura thing. I can’t insert graphics on my 2021 MacBook Pro using either 2.3.6.2 or 2.3.7 but both versions work just fine on my old iMac under Big Sur. You can mitigate the pain of the kludgy workaround a little bit by locating your desired graphic in the Finder, right clicking and selecting “Get Info”. This will bring up an info window that contains the full Unix path to the containing directory that you can copy and paste into the “file:”  field in the LyX pop-up for inserting graphics. You’ll still have to type in the file name, but the process is still easier than typing in the whole path, especially if you use cloud storage, which buries your files pretty deeply under your home directory.
