Hi, I'm facing to a really serious and urgent problem: My thesis document includes now some hundred figures (bitmaps with 100 to 300 dpi converted to ps-files) on about 300 pages. I just switched to Suse8.1 and Lyx 1.2.3 two days ago and was working with Lyx 1.1.6fix4 (Suse 7.3) up to now, where I had no problem with the same document on the same machine (Athlon 700, 512Mb-ram).
Now, when I open my doc with 1.2.3 and want to continue writing at the end of the doc I'try to scroll down. Yes I'm just only trying! Because every image is starting a convert-command to make the preview and there are a few hundred processes blocking the whole system for the rest of my working day! In Lyx 1.1.6 this was no problem! (previews where only created directly after loading the doc and it was many times faster than now). Is there any possibility, to get the previews at one time and not only when I'm scrolling to the page with with an image??? How to speed up the preview (color preferred, but even gray or monochrome is much too slow)? Any possibility to make a permanent hardcopy of the preview images that are used in Lyx? (So Lyx has not do to the convert every time again and again when the doc is loaded) Any way to avoid "convert" at all? It is important for me to see the images I'm writing about in my thesis. So just to say "no preview" for each figure doesn't solve my problem. By the way, is there any trick to get the "show page" command again which started gv externally for the ps files??? (it was so useful for me in Lyx 1.1.6) What happens if I start Lyx with "nice"? Will I ever see any preview then? Thank's a lot in advance, I really hope that I may use 1.2.3! The way it works now makes it impossible for me to work with it! :-( --------------------------------------- Andreas Philipp Arbeitsgruppe Klimaforschung Wuerzburg Geographisches Institut Uni Wuerzburg Am Hubland D-97074 Wuerzburg phone: ++49 931 8884690 fax: ++49 931 8885544 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------
