Seems like LyX indeed finds both formats: frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 2 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/pdf frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 2 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/pdf frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 2 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/pdf frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 2 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/pdf frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 2 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/pdf frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (1263): dispatch msg is Klistra The pasting in itself does not work when LyX is opened in this way (no dialogue to save the picture that is pasted is offered). And I just noticed something interesting: If I open LyX, go to Preview, copy the image, and then paste there is indeed a pdf option which gives a high resolution (and for me a low-res preview). If I then close LyX, reopens it and pastes the clip (that is still in memory), there is only the png and jpeg options to paste, and the output is: Text3.cpp (470): Text::dispatch: cmd: action: 13 [paste] arg: '' x: 0 y: 0 frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 1 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 1 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 1 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 1 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (493): We found 1 formats frontends/qt4/GuiClipboard.cpp (495): Found format application/x-qt-image frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (1263): dispatch msg is Klistra Perhaps this has to do with that I get a SIGSEGV-error when quitting: lyx(1713,0x7fff76590180) malloc: *** error for object 0x102076338: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Abort trap: 6 So, in conclusion, with LyX 2.1 the issue is indeed solved if the image is copied after LyX is opened and the pasted image is saved as a pdf. Many thanks! /Anders
