Georg/Angus,
From within the GUI things work fine. It is just the conversion on the
commandline that does not do the part where the gif file is converted to
some format pdflatex understands. Convert is present on my system.
This could be a bug but also be my understanding of the steps I need to
take do this from the commandline, e.g.:
$ lyx --export latex mylyxfile.lyx <--works
$ missing step?? <-- some step to convert all gifs to something pdflatex
understands
This should be done automatically by LyX.
$ pdflatex mylyxfile.tex <-- works, except for the gif
There is no missing step. commandline export should produce identical
results
to GUI export.
Yes it should but you must note that Export->Pdflatex is different to
Export->latex followed by running pdflatex on the file.
In the second case the only Export that Lyx is performing is Lyx->tex. This
will not convert any graphics file formats.
Subsequent running of pdflatex is outside of Lyx and so it will run, find
the gifs and have problems.
The only way around this is to use a pdflatex compatible image format in the
first place. THe reason for this is the following:
Within Lyx when you Export->pdflatex it converts the graphics files, then
does the convert to tex with the new file extensions. However if you
Export->tex the output will have the gof extensions and so regardless of
what you do next pdflatex will still come across gif files unless you edit
the tex file.
So I recommend you use png or jpg files in the original dicument.
