With qt4 frontend, I have:
The image loader can load the following directly:
bmp, jpeg, jpg, mng, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm,
Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, jpg, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm
So, correct me if I am wrong but, except for mng, there is no need for
external conversion script, isn't it?
But you surely want to be able to preview more than just these formats? I
certainly want, popular candidates are for example eps, tgif or xfig.
Thanks, now I understand.
I just had a quick look at the code in GraphicsConverter.C". IMHO, it
should be possible to provide the same functionality in C++ with
boost::filesystems and something else to launch external process. I was
going to propose QProcess but I guess this is unacceptable with GUII
philosophy... but I guess GTK would have something similar or we could
continue using current sh-based solution for non-Qt frontend. And with
some use of a virtual base class, GUII could still be there. Or is there
something in boost for process creation?
I am just thinking loud here...
