Including images by file path in lyx

Question

I am trying to include an image by path into a lyx document. My latex code is the following:

\begin{figure}
\graphicspath{{C:\Paper\images\}}
\centering\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{imageName}\caption{This is an image}
\end{figure}

but I get the error:

Paragraph ended before \graphicspath was complete

How can I set the path? Is it possible to set it once in the preamble?

Try replacing backslashes with slashes. – Bernard Aug 13 '16 at 09:28 — Bernard, Aug 13 '16 at 09:28

I think your problem is the \. You should use / in the path like discussed in the following answer:

There is also a more general path description provided.

Your path should look like:

\graphicspath{{C:/Paper/images/}}
