Hi Emme,

It's helpful to always cross-reference your posts. That way, if someone
solves your question on one list, others with the same problem who find
your other post can follow the link and see the solution. Here's your
other post:

  https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/524505/image-path-when-exporting-from-lyx

I don't know the answer to you question but I hope someone else does!

Best of luck,

Scott
