Is that still true? I take it to mean that I can't bypass LyX's use of 'convert' in converting my SVG first to a PNG?
You should be able to define a SVG -> PNG converter in LyX's preferences.If you use Imagemagick's convert utility to do this you probably save the alpha channel.
Could you please send my your SVG-file for some tests? Thanks in advance. regards Uwe
