Hi

I have just re-installed LyX (1.4.3) on my MacBook. I have copied my layout file to the correct location and ran reconfigure. After that, I have tried to open and pdf'ize an old document.

In the preamble, I have

\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture{./Paper}{0}}

Paper.jpg is in the working directory and looks fine. I have tried several different image formats before, including eps, but jpegs give the smallest pdfs and (IMHO) the best look. I know that it used to work on my old Mac with LyX 1.3.

But now it says:

"LaTeX Error: File `./Paper` not found.

and

 \newpage
              {}
I could not locate the file with any of these extensions:
.eps,.ps,.eps.gz,.ps.gz,.eps.Z
Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.

According to the wiki, I have tried to run lyx in debug mode with ./ lyx -dbg graphics. This is the result (snipped portion):

The image loader can load the following directly:
BMP
JPEG
MNG
PBM
PGM
PNG
PPM
XBM
XPM

Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm

So, actually it should be able to load my jpeg, but it doesn't.

Any hint welcome!

CU!
