Hi
I'm using Lyx 1.2.1 on RH 7.3 and I think I might have found a bug
related to inserting images created with for instance XFig.
The images is converted and displayed properly the first time, but if I
modify the image (i.e. the .fig-file), and then updates the view, the
view haven't changed.
However, if I delete the .fig-file in the
/tmp/lyx.../lyx-buffer.-catalog, then it works.
So the problem seems to be that Lyx fails to copy the modified .fig-file
to the /tmp-catalog where it is converted. The behaviour is the same for
TGIF-files, and for Lyx 1.2.
I've tried checking Bugzilla for this bug, but haven't found anything..
so I thought I'd report it. But first I'd like to check if this works
for anybody else, in case it is just my system that has this problem.
So the question is, if you:
1) Insert an .fig (XFig) or .obj (TGIF) image in a Lyx-document
2) Display the Lyx-document with for instance Ctrl-d
3) Modify the .fig or .obj-file
4) Redisplay the Lyx-document
Question: Does the DVI-file contain the recent changes to the image?

PS. I've found two temporary ways to get around this. If you're lazy,
just restart Lyx. Otherwise, execute something like this on your prompt
(I'm assuming TCSH):
>find /tmp/lyx* -name "*.fig" -exec rm {} \;
which fill find and delete all .fig-files in Lyx's temporary
directories.
