Re: Error converting to loadable format

Hi Stephan,
Yes, I upgraded to Yosemite. I found out that including the files works
when I start LyX from the console.

The exe files are the ones you want, and the later ones are updates. So, 
e.g., in this case, you'd want either LyX-2.0.6-Bundle-2.exe or 
LyX-2.0.6-Installer-2.exe. I believe the former contains everything you 
need to run LyX, whereas the latter downloads what it needs? I'm not sure.


I never know whether to uninstall the previous version. IIRC, in the 
past I have not and the update seems to work OK. What is the suggested

For what it's worth, my sense is that, on Windows, you're best off

What you see is a problem that ImageMagick is either misconfigured or cannot find Ghostscript. 
ImageMagick 6.5.1-3 was released 5 days ago, so it seems that you have installed it manually. 
Perhaps while doing this something went wrong, perhaps the ImageMagick version that is installed

Re: Error converting to loadable format for EPS

I have the same problem. However, only with SOME eps files.
In my case EPS files generated by Matlab just don't show in LyX,
but those from some other sources do show in LyX (for example
those in the user guide).

My only workaround has been to convert the EPS into PDF manually
(in OS X just use preview). If you need to export as LaTeX/eps, you can
just export as pdflatex, but compile with plain latex (if you export
as plain latex, LyX will try to convert the PDF files back to
EPS and overwrite the original files).

eps is a natural format for dvipdfm so with the document open
in LyX did you try View - Dvipdfm? That should work on any
well-formed .eps file, but dvipdfm doesn't do other formats.

pdflatex naturally does other formats than .eps and convert
from Imagemagick is called when pdflatex is chosen as your
viewing mode when there is an included .eps image in the .lyx
file needing conversion. I think you chose to view with pdflatex.

So I suggest seeing if all the .eps images load using dvipdfm.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-usersr=1w=2 is the best
mailing list archive to search for solutions. Probably one
can convert the recalcitrant eps file to .pdf with ps2pdf and
then pdflatex should work. Sometime the eps file is malformed.

Stephen

I recently upgraded to Lyx 1.4.2 and noticed that all EPS figures won't
load. The error message says

convert: unable to open image `eps:/Users/max/Desktop/TWI_Sensor.eps':
No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename
`ppm:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir5678NZIGui/TWI_Sensor5678sgWtgy.ppm'.
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR

Any idea? Thanks.

First question: does /Users/max/Desktop/TWI_Sensor.eps exist?  (You 
didn't specify your OS.  If it's pretty much anything other than 
Windows, keep in mind that paths are case-sensitive.)


Second question: if the file exists, does the account under which you're 
running LyX have read access to it?

eps is a natural format for dvipdfm so with the document open
in LyX did you try View - Dvipdfm? That should work on any
well-formed .eps file, but dvipdfm doesn't do other formats.

pdflatex naturally does other formats than .eps and convert
from Imagemagick is called when pdflatex is chosen as your
viewing mode when there is an included .eps image in the .lyx
file needing conversion. I think you chose to view with pdflatex.

So I suggest seeing if all the .eps images load using dvipdfm.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-usersr=1w=2 is the best
mailing list archive to search for solutions. Probably one
can convert the recalcitrant eps file to .pdf with ps2pdf and
then pdflatex should work. Sometime the eps file is malformed.

Technically, you shouldn't *need* ImageMagick. See here for how loading of
figures works in LyX:

http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/FiguresInLyX

Practially, Windows users have reported problems when using anything other
than the default converter, convertDefault.sh, which is indeed a wrapper
for ImageMagick's 'convert' utility. If you decide to use this default,
then you should ensure that the 'correct' convert is called. I understand
that there is a system utility called 'convert' on Win32 boxes, so you
should ensure that the ImageMagick directory is the first entry in your
PATH.

As for your specific problems using your specialised converter,
my_pstopng... I wish I could help more than I can. As I say, other Windows
users have reported problems using anything other than convertDefault.sh.
I have no idea why. In truth, I'm baffled by these reports.

Does your script get called? Add
echo Hi, my_pstopng here!
as the first line of your script, just to check.

Ghostscript must be installed before Imagemagick. Otherwise imagemagick

After reinstalling Ghostscript(use version AFPL 8.14 NOT version GPL

lyx -dbg 3
to get some useful background informations and post them again on this list.

I have tried to change the converters but to no success. Initially there 
was no eps converter on my list. I have added eps to png with the

DON'T define own converters on LyXWin! This causes only troubles because 
there are some ugly bugs in LyXWin. Use only the predefined converters. 
For all other image formats, LyX uses a script ConverDefault.sh that

If you run lyx -dbg graphics from the command line, you should see
