How can I put two floats side by side?

I would like to put two floating figures side by side in Lyx as Fig 1 and Fig 2

 FIG 1 : .....                     FIG2 : ...................

I've tried minipage but I have only one floaing figure for two graphics (Fig 1 a) > and b) )

Dekel says:

1. Insert->Float->Figure
2. Change layout to Standard
3. Insert->Minipage
4. Insert->Special Character->Hfill
5. Insert->Minipage
6. Change the width of the two minipages to 45%text (by clicking the right mouse button on each minipage)
7. In each minipage, change the paragraph alignment to center, add the graphics, press enter for a new paragraph, and change the layout to Caption.

See FiguresSideBySide for example files, and perhaps also BigFigureOrTable.

This LyxUsersThreadRoot:14093 might also be of interest, where Herbert has attached an example file in LyxUsersPost:14093 — that solution is reportedly perfect :-)
