Hi,

When configuring converters, what's the priority Lyx will give when
trying to convert an included graphic? If I have more than one
converters set-up for a given input format, with various output formats,
which one will Lyx prefer?
The case in point is trying to create a converter for Dot files, which
automatically parses them through dot2tex. This means Lyx would end-up
including an automatically produced LaTeX snippet. Is that even
possible? Do I need to figure out a way to first export this LaTeX to
some graphic format?

As a follow-up to this question, I've noticed Lyx still manages to
export a document with an included Dot file, even when I remove the
configured Dot converter. Am I right to assume there's some hardcoded
fallback converter at work? I don't believe it to be a configuration
caching issue, since I removed my whole .lyx dir just to be sure, but it
might be a fallback configuration somewhere else, which isn't visible in
the GUI and I couldn't find by grepping.
The same fallback converter seems to be what's used to generate the
image preview inside Lyx itself, since there are visual differences
between the previewed image and the exported one. Is there a way to
configure this?

All-in-all I might have totally misunderstood the idea behind the
converters, so please let me know if that's the case.


Cheers
