unless imagemagick convert utility knows how to deal with it (i think
it doesn't) i'm not aware of such a plain route.

As the tkiz -> PDF (ps2pdf) conversion seems to work, the problem should be
solvable with a definition for PDF (ps2pdf) -> PNG.


I think I am going to try this. The point is that I still do not understand why this possibly could help!

- As far as I understand "PDF (ps2pdf)" is just the "default" PDF- Format (pdf1). - LyX is able to create previews from files in this format "automagically".

Or am I mistaken here? I am still seeking for a definite answer regarding the conversion route that to my understanding is automatically deduced by LyX (TiKZ --> PDF | PDF --> Preview). It seem that (newer?) versions of LyX just pass everything right through to ImageMagik and do not bother with deducing a conversion route?
