I am still having problems with the use of .svg files on 1.5.0beta on my new Linux install (scroll down to previous message if interested).
Hmm. Not a lot of scrolling to be done here. I think the original message didn't make it.
It would seem that LyX is ignoring my settings for SVG>png (the preview format, I presume?)
I think LyX converts images to PPM for viewing internally.
conversion and what I would like to know is: where are the default converter settings held? Knowing the name of this script or config file would be a great help.
It's not exactly default *settings* per se. In <lyx>/Resources/scripts there's a Python script called convertDefault.py. That should be what gets invoked for a conversion if there's no user-defined conversion path.
If you want to define your own route for converting SVG to something LyX can display, you might try either defining an SVG->PPM converter rather than SVG->PNG, or else define SVG->PNG and also PNG->PPM. For most user-definable conversions, LyX will look for a valid chain of converters from source format to target format. I assume that also applies to graphics conversions for internal display, although I don't recall ever putting that assumption to the test.
