Re: RC2 and graphics, follow up
(I observed my watch a few times RC2 needed around 25-30 seconds from the moment I clicked the OK button of the inset-image-dialog, 1.5.0 needs certainly less than 5 seconds. No representative sample ;-) ugh. is this waiting done by cpu usage or swapping? i just nearly freezed my box from swapping trying to reproduce the problem. just took ~100 pictures i played little bit with resizing them. finally after kill -9 of lyx instance i had only little memory. top showed that X server consumes several hundres of mb. i remember we have some kind of such report in bugzilla. bouncing to devel. pavel

RC2 and graphics, follow up
Hi, finally I could finish my document ;-) Fortunately I have still a LyX 1.5.0 on my machine, so I exported what I had to that format and could continue much quicker usng 1.5.0.

No representative sample ;-) Viewing with kpdf is quite slow too, somebody sugested that may be a problem of graphic format conversion. Which format does lyx use? I could easily convert all my pictures to that format using convert. Then no additional time would be needed. Two slightly OT Questions? *** In my document which contains around 60 pictures (and some (sub)section headers I normally insert the pictures just into the text, putting sometimes an \hfill between two pictures. In a majority of cases that works quite well.
