Hi,
I get "Error converting to loadable format" on the canvas, when I try
to load an eps file. Though the figure is not visualized on the
LyX-canvas, it is correctly displayed when viewed in DVI or Postscript
format. The problem only appears with 1.3.0cvs, not with 1.2.0.
I can solve it by manually adding an EPS to XPM converter:
From: EPS
To: XPM
Converter: convert EPS:$$i XPM:$$o
Why is this EPS conversion not there by default?
Here is some more info from my lyx version and "lyx -dbg graphics":
