Note that "ppm" is only used in GraphicsCacheItem.C in the latest patch. This means that we'll convert all unknown formats to "ppm" for the onscreen preview. Note also that ppm is already the default for formats that are known but have no explicit conversion path to any of the possible preview formats. > shouldn't we rather fail-out and just say that we have no idea what to > do with it? If we fail out we force users to add every format that we don't yet support a) to the preferences file and b) to getFormatFromContents(). The ability to use image formats that LyX does not know is really useful IMHO (of course this is only possible if our default converter can handle them, but imagemagick knows a lot of formats) Georg
