How do things display if you set the display type in the graphics dialog (LyX View->Screen display) to DEFAULT and set this default in the preferences dialog (Look & Feel->Misc->Display Graphics). Do they always appear in colour, or can you change the display? I ask, because I suspect a bug in libXPM which does this stuff for us. > Finally, the conversion from eps to xpm is incredibly long, there was no > problem with the 1.1.6 release, the graphics were less smart but the > file loaded quickly... Is there some solutions for that. Yes. We'll be able to load graphics asynchronously in the very near future. Your long conversion times from eps to xpm may be because you're using ImageMagick's "convert" to do the conversion. Look at the converters in Preferences->Conversion. convert is pretty slow. The netpbm tools can be much quicker. > And the last question, where are hidden the conversion command line (not > in the GUI but in the prefs files), because on a linux box (p200mmx > debian linux 2.2r3), lyx cvs doesn't want to convert the eps, in fact it > answers me that he doesn't know how to convert??? See above answer. Regards, Angus
