Hi, I'm a new :LyX user and I love it. However, I can't figure out how to make the document portable. I keep each document in a project that includes each figure, but when I open the file up on a new machine, within that same project folder, all the figures are gone. All that is there is the name of the file, and a "loaded into memory. Generating ...". This stinks when there are a lot of images in the document. There must be a solution to this.
If you get the "loaded into memory" message, I'm pretty sure LyX is finding the image files ok. It's liable to be a problem with ImageMagick (or maybe LyX's communication with ImageMagick) on the second machine.
I have an intermittent problem with image display in LyX 1.6.1 on my home PC (Win XP). Sometimes the images in a document will display in the GUI, and sometimes the same document will show a bunch of "Generating ..." messages but no images. Note that in all cases LyX finds the images, and they display properly in the output (PDF or DVI), just not in the GUI. I haven't had time to track down the issue. Maybe this is what you're running into. In my case, sometimes closing and reopening the document alleviates the problem.
