.....for the same reason there's an Apply button in the Preferences dialog. Remove that one and all LyX users will shout :). So why not have also one in the graphics dialog? BTW: Where do I set the sizes of the figure on the LyX canvas? Is it in the File-tab? Or is it in the Size-tab? None of them seem to change the figure-size on the LyX canvas! Are the sizes not yet connected to the actual appearance on the canvas? You may remember that I need to add manually an entry in the Preferences->Converters: Postscript->XPM: convert $$i XPM:$$o Do the sizes not work with this setup? > > 2) Concerning Graphics dialog Size-tab: > This is handled by graphicx!

It's a bad idea to have a different help style for each dialog. Should there be a consensus and have a harmonized help style? The graphics help text seem to belong to an old arrangement of the graphics dialog; tabs have been renamed (Filename, Imagesize, Special) and some entries are in the wrong tab section. "Scale" talks about degrees and rotation. That's wrong, isn't it? Regards, Rob.
