Avoid resizing, fix the size with convert -geometry xx% then include with default size. >> >>What I'm doing is documenting a program, so I'm including screenshots.

You could parse the mailing list, there is a search function. Another trick is to use pdflatex with no file extension: includegraphics should find the .png file. tex2pdf doest it for you, but I didn't check if the image conversion fron eps to pdf is skipped is the png file exists: if it works, you change nothing to your actual lyx file, just run tex2pdf on it (or Export/View PDF(pdflatex) if you connected the tag to tex2pdf). Keep us posted if you try this. -- Jean-Pierre
