LyX ⇒ Image path when exporting from Lyx

[muzzle]

I am trying to setup LyX to export directly to the reStructuredText format. I adapted these instructions https://lemmster.de/lyx-export-to-markdown.html just replacing markdown with reStructuredText.

Unfortunately LyX changes the path of every image.

e.g. the figure in the attached example becomes

.. figure:: 0_home_muzzle_Nextcloud_Stuff_Stuff_documentation_source_img_pressure.jpg
:alt: Pressure
:width: 80.0%

Pressure

but it should be

.. figure:: img/pressure.jpg
:alt: Pressure
:width: 80.0%

Pressure

LyX replaces the image path with that of the copy of the image created to allow the converter to do its job. This is the correct behavior if the output format will somehow embed the image in the document, but that is not the case for reStructuredText (or for markdown, for that matter).

If I export the lyx file as latex from the GUI, and then convert it to reStructuredText using the command

Code: Select all

pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t rst -o file.rst file.tex

the image path is correct, is there a way to obtain the same effect from the UI conversion and export system?

Hello, I have partially solved the issue https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... 722#552722.

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