Hello,

I have some old Latex documents with PSTricks diagrams. I am converting
them to Lyx and it works quite nicely, except one problem:

I use pdftricks for automatically converting the figure to pdf and use with
pdflatex.
I have changed the configuration of the pdflatex converter to put pdflatex
-shell-escape $i as the command (and put the necessary elements if the
preamble and around the pstricks diagrams).

When I try to convert the document to PDF from Lyx, it runs some time,
converts the figures to pdf but then stops by just telling that
pdfltaex -shell-escape myfilename.tex has failed.

But the log in the tmp folder does not contain any error message and the
generated PDF is complete, but Lyx does not open it.

Does Lyx play well with -shell-escape? I have the impression that this is a
problem of a return code and Lyx does not get the OK code from the shell
-escape process. ANy idea where to look? Is this a well known bug?
