I have some problems with previewing JPG and PS/EPS in LyX in both WinXP/Win7 64bit environments. I had installed both ImageMagick and GhostScript in 64bit versions before installing LyX (by alternative installer).
It is much more safe not to install them separately. Nevertheless it should work.
My first question is: is it possible not to install 32bit versions of these apps from the LyX installer (both "official" or alternative)?
No, the installer only ships one version of these applications to keep the file size low. Thus we only ship the 32bit version. But you don't need the 64bit versions. Personally, I also have a 64bit Windows but use the 32bit versions as I cannot see any difference in speed.
After installing, my PNG preview works, but JPG and EPS files not. In the 32bit XP/Vista, preview works. Have you some workaround for this issue? Uninstalling LyX, 64bit ImageMagick and GSview/GhostScript and subsequent reinstall of LyX with its 32bit alternatives of IM/GS didn't solve the problem.
Hmm, this works here on WinXp 64bit when I install IM and GS together with the alternative LyX Windows installer.
