I think I'll have a go. You must have been sat at the computer for far too long these past few days. Go for that ride! Actually, this is how I envisage splitting up the task: Getting the InsetGraphicsParams into InsetGraphics --- done. A few tweeks left. Passing a subset of the InsetGraphicsParams, GraphicsParams to the GraphicsCache --- done here. Modifying the GraphicsCache to delete/add GraphicsCacheItems based on a comparison of GraphicsParams rather than the file name --- doing. Pass the GraphicsParams from the GraphicsCacheItem to the ImageLoader. Create hooks to call either ImageLoaderXPM or ImageLoaderXforms. Ignore ImageLoaderXforms for the time being. ImageLoaderXPM: convert from input format to crop,scale,rotate format crop,scale,rotate convert to XPM So, I need to define some more LyXRC variables: graphics_crop_format graphics_crop_command etc I think that that does it.
