Hi All - First off, congrats to the lyx team for bringing out 1.2.0. I want to make sure that the small critiques I have don't mask the fact that lyx is really a great tool - certainly one without which I'd be stuck.
I am running lyx 1.2.0 off a standard Mandrake 8.2 box. I downloaded the rpm from the Mandrake cooker (lyx-1.2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm) and installed it (after some dependency problems which basically entailed upgrading to gcc-3.1). Given that I installed a lyx binary it is possible that the problems I have are not a problem with lyx per se, but with how Mandrake built their particular binary. Anyway - several posts have reported problems with the in-line display of *.eps figures. Basically lyx documents that rendered fine under 1.1.6f4 would usually not show imported figures properly in 1.2.0. I am having the same problems, but only with *.epsi figures. Standard ps and eps files seem fine. However all my imported *.epsi figures give "Error converting to loadable format". In the console window from where I started lyx, the following appears (with variations on the ./magic*): convert: Unable to open file (./magic6fK0t5) [No such file or directory]. convert: Missing an image file name. Any suggestions? And finally, I really miss the "Fullscreen preview" option that lyx 1.1.6 used to have when clicking on a figure. With lyx 1.2.0 my *.ps / *.eps figures render *terribly* - basically looking like low-resolution thumb nails. I'd strongly suggest putting the "Fullscreen preview" button back into lyx 1.2.0. Cheers Rudolph
