Hi Bennett,
thanks for the advice.
Actually it doesn't work properly! I do get this message:
"convert: no decode delegate for this image format"
although imagemagick 6.3.3 (came with TeXLive-2007) is installed.
What now?!
It might have something to do with ImageMagick.
It sounds like ImageMagick is the problem. Can you uninstall and
then reinstall your TeX distribution (is it MacTeX?)?
Yes, it must be something with ImageMagick, as converting .xpm
or .gif files from command line with "convert" doesn't work either.
It produces the following command line comment:
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `gtk.xpm'
Testing a .lyx file with an imbedded .xpm file produced the following
command line comments:
convert: unable to open image `xpm:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir22058e5mWL/
lyx_tmpbuf0/2_Users_bjornmuller_Desktop_gtk.xpm': No such file or
directory.
convert: missing an image filename `png:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir22058e5mWL/
lyx_tmpbuf0/2_Users_bjornmuller_Desktop_gtk.png'.
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/./scripts/convertDefault.py
ERROR
Execution of "convert" failed.
It seems that there is no code delegate for at least the .xpm
and .gif formats. What can I do about this?
...
Concerning Document > Outline: Does anything show up in
Console.app when you try viewing an outline? ... I also wonder
if anyone else with a PPC Mac is having problems with this or
the TOC box. (Anders?)
No, nothing showing up in Console.app!
Try running LyX from Terminal.app as follows:
/path/to/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -dbg gui
(substituting the appropriate path for "/path/to" -- such as /
Applications).
Terminal will spit out a lot of text, and a new instance of LyX
will start up. From within LyX, open a file that has section
headings, etc. Then choose Document > Outline; when you do, some
more text will appear in the Terminal. Send this text to us on the
list. For comparison, when I do it, this is what I get:
When I tried this, the Outline feature all the sudden appeared!! I
have the wicked feeling that I tricked myself though. The problem
was, that I had the LyX window always covering the whole screen. When
choosing Outline I probably just never saw it!!!! Now I saw it,
because I had the LyX window only halfscreen to see what Terminal.app
would show!!! I'm sorry about causing you trouble with this.
