A question and a general comment about setting the preferences for viewing the different file formats in the Lyx window.
-If you make a modification in the converter part of the preferences, save them and AFTER reconfigure, do you loose the modifications that you have just done? I have tried this and sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It the modifications are lost by the "reconfigure" action, then I cannot see the various file format any more and I have renter the converters.
How are preferences and reconfigure related to eachother? Does anyone know?
-To tackle this, I reconfigured once and then enter my converters directly in the preferences file (C:\Documents and Settings\Frederic Wullens\.lyx under windows2000) as follows:
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##########################
#


\converter "lyxpreview" "ppm" "convertDefault.sh " ""
\converter "jpg" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "gif" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "png" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "eps" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "eps" "ppm" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "eps" "png" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "jpg" "png" "convert $$i $$o" ""
\converter "gif" "png" "convert $$i $$o" ""

-Conclusion, I can see gif, jpg thanks to the 2 last rows. I hope that the following : \converter "eps" "png" "convert $$i $$o" "" would help to display eps pictures in Lyx, but it doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion.

Thanks, Fr�d�ric
