Yes. For some reason the first page doesn't think it's visible until the entire document is loaded. Or something. If I can't track this down properly (quite possible) the work around is to load insets for the first page anyway.

Alternatively, you could hack preview.sty so that it outputs (eq:label) rather than (0.21) [eq:label David said he'd be willing to accept a patch... > - equations in floats (caption) are not previewed > maybe all insets??? It's possible that my isInsetVisible function won't work on these.

Does that reduce disk footprint much? Maybe now is the time to write/use lyxpreview2png.sh. On loading, the xforms loader will have to run a conversion to ppm step first, so loading will take a little longer but not much. Disk footprint would then be O(1MB). Moreover the Qt loader will just load ;-) Angus
