Hello, While debugging some issues with SVG converters, I'm a bit confused now. I had configured an SVG -> PNG conversion rule in my preferences, hoping to control the tool that will visualize my SVG images when editing in LyX. Sadly, it seems that LyX is not applying the rule anymore. Here's the message log info:
graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (416): Converting it to format. > > Format.cpp (393): filetools(getFormatFromContents) > > Couldn't find a known format! > > Format.cpp (504): will guess format from file extension: svg -> svg > > graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (386): > [CacheItem::Impl::convertToDisplayFormat] > > Attempting to convert image file: C:/REDACTED.svg > > with displayed filename: C:/REDACTED.svg > > Format.cpp (393): filetools(getFormatFromContents) > > Couldn't find a known format! > > Format.cpp (504): will guess format from file extension: svg -> svg > > graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (393): > > The file contains svg format data. > > graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (398): No conversion needed (from == to)! > > graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (295): Loading image. > > graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (301): Image loading succeeded. > > > Here are my questions: - Which tool is converting my SVG to show on the screen if the log says "No conversion needed"? Are SVG files now somehow "native" to LyX 2.2.3? - Is it not the SVG -> PNG rule I should be overriding? - Why is my SVG -> PNG converter (the one I thought should be executed) being ignored? The reason I need to do this is that the rendering of flowed (wrapped) text in SVG (something I use quite a lot in figures) is very dependent on the converter. Inkscape lets me edit pretty well, but I'd been having issues with it hanging and so I switched it to rsvg-convert while debugging. That tool doesn't quite handle wrapped text so well, as it is a controversial (moving target) part of the standard. See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions#What_about_flowed_text.3F My SVG -> PDF (pdf2latex) etc. overrides seem to work just fine when I test.
