in principle you are right but there are many strange situations (and usually hard to precisely pinpoint why) in which the conversion went on, but the result for some reason doesn't change from 'loading image' status into image itself - not only, but typically open the graphics settings and go from one to the other figure without closing the dialog, change the name, apply and immediately go for the next figure. you can see that the conversion goes on, but because of focused dialog it wont get immediately updated and after closing dialog it gets often frozen in such a state. or lyx reloads it too fast when the figure is not yet completely dumped by the third application - then you get big white square in my case. the case for file not found is not implemented at all. pavel
