#7163 - Crash when closing file before pictures are converted
I will try to have a look at this one.
I can no longer reproduce this bug. I used a file with about 150
1000x1000 EPS images, open it and close it immediately, and there is no
crash.
Let me just say what I'm seeing, and someone can perhaps say if
something has changed.
If I open the file with top open, then I can see ghostscript running to
convert the first couple images (assuming the cursor is at the top). But
if I then just let LyX sit there, no further conversions take place. So
if I scroll down a bit, I see ghostscript running again, and LyX hangs
while the conversion happens. I do not much use graphics, but I had
thought that these conversions were supposed to happen in the
background, so that LyX won't hang when I scroll down or whatever.
Instead, the loading is being triggered by the need to calculate the
TextMetrics for the new paragraph.
