Re: image conversion tools

[jorgen johansson]

I'd love to be able to do that but I am so far not a C++ programmer. 
Mainly using fortran 95 for my research. I'm familiar with C syntax and 
know a little bit about object oriented languageas, but I have no 
experience in developing for large projects. I guess downloading Lyx 
sources and start learning from that is one way get started.

I'd thought I send in my observations on using the qt version because it 
 would be useful for other users and possibly for someone who can 
patch. I'd be glad to help in some testing, when time allows.

Hello again,

Sorry to bother you all. I conversion works both with windows native or
cygwin Imagemagick. I had to add an explicit converter in the
preferences, either to use the cygwin or the windows Imagemagick.
If not the qt 1.3.2 lyx was looking for the
/usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh (which is cygwin
installation of lyx 1.3.1) directory. I would have guessed that the
native version of cygwin should have looke for C:\lyx\share\lyx\scripts\
since I installed the qt version in C:\lyx\. Why didn't it?


Because none of the developers uses Windows. If you want to step aboard and 
provide a patch, then you will be made most welcome.
