Hi,
[2] is in the line with what I imagined first. What I didn't notice when reporting this is "Scale on screen %" setting in the image dialog. I will use this for now.

Thinking more about this, maybe the best would be something like an option to limit image depending on the LyX window. I guess the problem has no chance to being solve in general way.

If you believe it makes sense to report a bug about preview size dependent on the LyX window, you or I could do the report. Otherwise, I'm fine enough with "Scale on screen" properties per image.

Thank you for your work.

:) Alex

Hi Alex,

When inserting big graphics into LyX the editor will show them at
original size. The graphics may be set to show at some scaling down
percent, but LyX will show them at the same size.

The problem with this is that it it makes document editing harder by
taking up a lot of screen space and having to scroll too much and
loose overview.

I would like LyX to scale the shown graphics in a smart way (I don't
know which is that) or maybe show them at the scale chosen by the
user in the graphics dialog. Any other method of easing work with
these big graphics is welcome.

This is a bit tricky. According to #3674 [1] in the LyX bugtracker you
should see an instant preview so that you can adjust the scaling while
having the insert dialog still open. Currently this doesn't work on Linux.

After all this is still not exactly what you've asked for. A bit more in this
direction is #2151 [2] which asks for an automatic scaling factor setting.

One more in the same direction is #2200 [3]. Still not exactly what you asked
for but I guess this is very close if you get some automatic scaling that
adjusts to your current screen size.

I'm unsure which one fits best here or if I should forward this in a new
report.
Any recommendations?

Sven
