The problem here is that the postscript file contains two images and imagemagick converts both of them and appends a count to the file names. So, LyX expects file.png but imagemagick produces file-1.png and file-2.png. Hence, LyX thinks imagemagick failed to perform the conversion. To solve this, you have to edit the EPS->PNG converter and change it from magick $$i $$o to magick $$i[0] $$o if you want the first image, or replace 0 with 1 if you want the second one. Maybe this setting should be the default one? I am not sure because this is the first time I see it. Another way to fix the issue would be by removing the strange header so that the file starts with "%!". I was able to do that with gvim and then imagemagick produced only one image. -- Enrico -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
