LyX ⇒ Difficulties with inserting figures and figures' list

[clemens]

Hello,

I am a beginner with Lyx and Latex. It's a bit of a silly thing, but I am having problems with inserting images, adding captions to them and then have the automatic list of figures.
I tried with the insert->graphic option but then I am not able to put the caption (I get Senseless !!!) nor the figure number appears on the list of figures.
EDIT: NOW THIS WORKS
I tried with the insert->float->figure and then I am able to put the caption but still nothing shows up on the list of figures.

BUT STILL, WHY THIS DOESN'T?
I tried also with

Code: Select all

1
\usepackage{graphicx}

Run LaTeX here

but Lyx cannot find the image
What should I do?

Hi Clemens,

use pdfLaTeX, that means compile with LyX directly to pdf, if you want to include jpg images.
