Qt is used directly to display images in a number of formats, including svg. Therefore it would be a qt bug if the preview of an svg image is not displayed correctly. Georg

From my experience, Inkscape works best as converter.

Maybe look in the converter sections and define a different converter for svg to png (because png is used in the preview if I am not mistaken). But this was on Linux, and now on a Mac, I get the attached pdf - no line or arrows... The reason is the converter used. It seems that default is to use svg2pdf and svg2png which does seem to have these problems. But, on the other hand, if you use rsvg-convert from librsvg, the conversion works perfectly - both the png and pdf contain the arrows (see attached). So the solution seems to be, to change the default converter for svg. Cheers, Rainer lyxinkscape.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document test2.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document > > -- Rainer M.

But as a Linux fan it just annoys me a bit, that this works perfectly under Windows :) It also makes me suspect that some external tool is responsible for that behaviour and that it might be possible to be changed.
