Howdy all,
Sorry to join the list with a question..
I've just upgraded LyX from 1.3.4 to 1.4.1. I ran the installer script,
and all appeared well.
However, I seem to have lost support for my figures. I have a document
with a mixture of eps and png figures, that rendered fine (pdflatex)
under 1.3.4, but doesn't under 1.4.1 - it complains that it has 'No
information for converting png format to eps. Define a convertor in the
Preferences'.
I'm a little confused about this, because my understanding was that LyX
has 'built-in' support for both of these formats, and that they don't
need to be converted, as such..? Also, all my png figures preview fine
within LyX (although the eps files don't, and never have).
I've had a bit of a look through the mail archives, and haven't found
this problem, although there seem to be many similar problems. One mail
mentioned a bug.. I'm not sure if that's relevant..
I'm running LyX 1.4.1 on MacOS 10.4.6. I can't remember off-hand how I
installed TeX - I think it was via fink.
Any pointers appreciated!
Cheers,
-Angus

pdflatex doesn't process eps images.
LyX can use a converter like epstopdf, ps2pdf or ImageMagick
for changing eps to pdf so that pdflatex can use it (pdf png)
In 1.4.1 the Preferences with file formats and converters
are now found under Tools.
