Hi everyone,

I like to use the preview feature to put Tikz pictures on my documents and see 
the effect of my changes in real time. This works fine when I don't mess up: If 
I change a line and put my cursor elsewhere, the preview updates accordingly, 
which is faster and more convenient than recompiling the whole file. However, 
if I make a mistake (e.g. miss a semicolon), the preview simply doesn't appear. 
Worse, I get no indication that LyX tried to compile it and failed. I have to 
compile the entire file to figure out what went wrong.

So, my question is: Is there a way to distinguish between "this preview is 
taking a bit to compile" vs. "this preview got a compilation error", and in the 
latter case is there a way to see the error that came up?

Thanks in advance,
-Duarte Maia
