Whilst previews should still work "out of the box", generating a stack of ppm
format bitmap files, those among you who are using the Qt frontend might like
to take advantage of Qt's ability to load png format files natively. Why?
Much, much smaller bitmap files, leading to quicker load times perhaps.
I have a line in my preferences file
\converter "lyxpreview" "png" "lyxpreview2bitmap.sh" ""
Don't forget to delete the now-redundant entry in
${USERLYXDIR)/lyxrc.defaults if that file exists.
xforms users will probably want to stay with the defautl ppm format as the
xforms library can't load png files natively. Previews therefore take longer
to load as we must perform an additional conversion to load the file.
