from PreviewLoader.C:
Converter const * setConverter()
{
string const from = "lyxpreview";
Formats::FormatList::const_iterator it = formats.begin();
Formats::FormatList::const_iterator end = formats.end();
for (; it != end; ++it) {
string const to = it->name();
if (from == to)
continue;
Converter const * ptr = converters.getConverter(from, to);
if (ptr)
return ptr;
}
...
Lyx is finding the first converter from lyxpreview to a known format instead
of the shortest conversion from lyxpreview to a loadable format.
So if you have both converters (lyxpreview->{png,ppm} defined (as I had in
my case) lyx will choose the first one, even if that is costier (because
then the loader will have to make the png->ppm conversion).
Not that it matters so much, but one could define a
Converters::getConverterToDisplayable(Format & from) to correct this case
and simplify things a bit?
