Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
I have checked my installation of ImageMagick: 6.3.3. Most elements are in the .usr/local/lib Maybe I installed it when I installed the full MacTeX package containing the texlive2007 package. Now, since I am a totally beginner in the Lyx and Latex arena (I have been using, LyX for 3 weeks), I am not sure about what are the right ways for uninstalling/installing LaTeX packages and additional software. Perhaps I could do the two operations through the i-Installer? However I have just checked it for ImageMagick and it says that ImageMagick is being updated and then is not available. Maybe I could download it from http://www.imagemagick.org/? But then how could I uninstall the present version and install the new one? Sorry, but since I am used only to uninstall ordinary applications by moving them from the Application folder to the Trash, which is not the case with ImageMagick, I am unsure about how to uninstall ImageMagick and then reinstall it.

LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
Hi all, is there anyone of the LyX for MAC users which could help me with handling images in LyX? I use Lyx 1.5.4 for Mac (PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.3.9) and I have found out that I cannot insert in Lyx files JPEG images. I can only insert PNG images (and PDF as well, even if they are not showed in Lyx as a preview). If I try to insert JPEG images, I get an error message saying that the system is unable to convert the image format. Something similar happens when I use the Export function to HTML, even if the LyX file has PNG images (which are not a problem in LyX preview and in the pdf output). In the case of the Export function for files with PNG images I get this message: No information for converting png format files to eps. Define a converter in the preferences. Actually, the result of the HTML Export is a Folder which contains the HTML file converted form Lyx as well as the files of the PNG images which I had inserted in the original Lyx file, but when I open this html file in the browser window I can't see the png images within the HTML page. As for my installation, I installed ImageMagick with the full LyX package. I think it works, otherways I couldn't charge png images, which are correctly shown both in the Lyx preview and in the pdf output, still something doesn't work. Could you please help me with this issue? Thank you very much for your kind help. Pierfranco

I think it works, otherways I couldn't charge png images, which are correctly shown both in the Lyx preview and in the pdf output, still something doesn't work. Could you please help me with this issue? Try first reconfiguring LyX (LyX Reconfigure) and then restarting. Does that solve it? If not, try moving aside your preferences file (in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) or even the whole LyX-1.5 directory. Does that solve it? Bennett
LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
Hi all, is there anyone of the LyX for MAC users which could help me with handling images in LyX? I use Lyx 1.5.4 for Mac (PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.3.9) and I have found out that I cannot insert in Lyx files JPEG images. I can only insert PNG images (and PDF as well, even if they are not showed in Lyx as a preview). If I try to insert JPEG images, I get an error message saying that the system is unable to convert the image format. Something similar happens when I use the Export function to HTML, even if the LyX file has PNG images (which are not a problem in LyX preview and in the pdf output). In the case of the Export function for files with PNG images I get this message: No information for converting png format files to eps. Define a converter in the preferences. Actually, the result of the HTML Export is a Folder which contains the HTML file converted form Lyx as well as the files of the PNG images which I had inserted in the original Lyx file, but when I open this html file in the browser window I can't see the png images within the HTML page. As for my installation, I installed ImageMagick with the full LyX package. I think it works, otherways I couldn't charge png images, which are correctly shown both in the Lyx preview and in the pdf output, still something doesn't work. Could you please help me with this issue? Thank you very much for your kind help. Pierfranco

This sure sounds like you don't have ImageMagick installed properly (or properly recognized by LyX).
