Yes, there's a bunch of stuff we install with LyX on Windows. My understanding, as Daniel said, is that this is because configuring this kind of thing on Windows is very difficult, due to path issues and the registry, etc, etc. Riki

German Download Page
Can someone update the German download page here: https://www.lyx.org/WebDe.Download to reflect the fact that the bundle installer no longer exists? And add this language: NOTE: Before you install LyX on Windows, you need to install a TeX distribution. For more information on how to do this, please see this page on the LyX wiki. Thanks, Riki

It’s a little bit more convoluted than you think. I’ve tried to disable rsvg-convert by making it a non-executable and the shell didn’t find it - but LyX detected it and couldn’t run it. So, it was not right to say, I’m having the same problem as you. My problem was to have a non-working rsvg-convert. Then I renamed rsvg-convert and the preview of SVG graphics snippets worked out-of-the-box again. Next I’ve installed inkscape 0.91 and immediately had your problem after reconfiguring LyX. LyX was able to find end execute inkscape but the converter script used contains a strange command line and the conversion failed because of it. The python script generated on the fly by LyX has two superfluous „$$p“ in front of the real path names of in and out files. # if os.system(r'inkscape --without-gui --file=$$p' + '"' + infile + '"' + ' --export-png=$$p' + '"' + outfile + '"' + '') != 0: This is a consequence of the auto detected converter configuration line in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.3/lyxrc.defaults \converter svgpng"inkscape --without-gui --file=$$p$$i --export-png=$$p$$o""", I’m not sure how this should work - obviously it doesn’t work. It would be good to file a trac ticket about this issue.

Anders, Stephen Witt mentioned that he was using RSVG-convert. So I installed, using macports librsvg. I did a reconfigure on Lyx, and now the svgz snippets show up.

Re: Lyx V2.3.2 - Issues with svgs snippets on Mac OS X
Anders, That is the configuration that I have — I have Inkscape installed, and this is the File Converter that is being used for SVG and SVGZ files. I ran Lyx in debug mode and I could see that there was some sort of a failure surrounding using Inkscape as the converter. As I understand it, Inkscape is installed as part of the Lyx installation, so I assumed that it is using its own local copy. Is there an alternative way to set this up so that another render engine is used that works? Thanks is advance for any advice.
