Well, I guess I actually have understand how the things are working in LyX... The problem was that I installed LyX 1.5.4 for testing purposes and moved my LyX 1.6.0 installation from c:\program files\LyX15 to c:\program files\LyX16. I edited the inkscape.cmd file in LyX16\Resources\scripts. What I didn't think of was to change the path prefix in the LyX 1.6 settings... So, LyX executed the old file in the LyX15 directory that didn't know how to export from svg to pdf... Now everything works perfectly as expected. Maybe one could change the wiki pages http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/SVGFilesAndInkscape and http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages so that the users configure LyX to export from svg-files directly to pdf. That will increase the image quality as soon you're using pixel graphics inside an svg. Dominik
