True. > If none of your converters rotates images then a different setting for LyX > display is not needed. But I simply used the default converter chosen by LyX and the rotation was actually depending on using latex or pdflatex. So, I was getting different rotations in output but still the same orientation in LyX display. This is confusing by itself, whether or not I am able to rotate differently the image in LyX display. So, I still think that it makes sense having different rotations for output and display. -- Enrico
