convertDefault.sh is apparently called in my setup. At least that's
what I think looking at the log. There's no pop up window asking me to
specify any program. It's executed (?) and calls convert.exe which calls
gswin32c.exe as it should be.
I cannot execute the command
"convert test.eps test.ppm" on the command line (same error as lyx
shows), that's why I thought it must be an ImageMagick problem.
> \converter "eps" "ppm" "convert $$i $$o" ""
> \converter "jpg" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
> \converter "png" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
Adding these three lines doesn't solve the problem. The error message
remains the same. Again, convert.exe from ImageMagick is executed
which can't correctly cooperate with gswin32c.exe.
The "lyx -dbg graphics" command again shows

What I am puzzled about is that - even though I added the /converter
lines to preferences in "C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\.lyx\preferences" - some shell script is invoked
("build_script ... ready!...").
A shell script can't be run under WinXP. But that can't explain why
ghostscript fails (only that some files are not copied to the right
places).

Never tried to use jpg and others. I just need to make the vector
graphics work.
What's your ImageMagick and ghostscript config?
Thx for your reply.
