Not exactly a complaint, but is it possible to revive the .ps/.eps rendering scheme of LyX-1.1.5 and before with LyX-1.2.0? I've recently built 1.2.0, and tried it with both a long LyX file which incorporates a number of photographs and with the UserGuide.lyx. For reasons you complain, even after I installed convert, the images don't render on screen. Both files come up relatively quickly in Lyx-1.1.5. What troubles me, as I contemplate upgrading my xforms library and run the risk of breaking Lyx-1.1.5, is that the multi-step rendering process for on-screen images in Lyx-1.2.0 seems complicated, kluge-like, wasteful of temporary file space, and s-l-o-w. Can I configure Lyx-1.2.0 to use ghostscript to directly render the on-screen images in the manner of Lyx-1.1.5? Or is the use of intermediate file formats (xpm or ppm) just a fact-of-life for the new version of LyX? Thanks, -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
