I thought that my browser had burped -- that popped up the same (as it turns out fruitless) Google search I did before posting to the group. Anyway, it appears that this is in fact an ImageMagick problem. After extensive experimentation (in lieu of doing my employer's work), I have discovered that, at least on the Windows port of ImageMagick, the convert program blows up if you specify the input file with an eps: prefix. It can convert filename.eps, but not eps:filename.eps (nor eps:filename with no suffix). It seems to have no problem with ppm: or png: as prefixes, and it has not objection to eps:filename.eps as a target, but woe be unto you if you try eps: as the prefix on the input file. Which, of course, LyX does. Since I never preview graphics in LyX anyway, and since my employer expects me to do something useful at least periodically, I don't intend to report this to the ImageMagick group, but I thought it would post it here since LyX on Windows users will probably raise this question periodically. Perhaps someone with more motivation than I will first verify my findings and then take them to the right forum. -- Paul
