Nils Run LyX from the command line as $ lyx -dbg graphics That will send output to stdout detailing, amongst other things, the python (LyX 1.5.x) or shell (LyX = 1.4.x) script that LyX creates to handle the conversion for it.

I added SVG as a vector graphics format; EPS conversion works with the entry inkscape -E $$o $$i in the converters preferences. The analogous entry inkscape -A $$o $$i as SVG-PDF(pdflatex) converter does not work, although on the command line, this does do the right thing. In lyx, I get pixel graphics in the PDF output, presumably produced by convert. What should I do? Nils, I'd try adding the flag 'vector' to the SVG-PDF converter definition.
