I am not sure what was going on, but I noticed in the about box that qt lyx was not using the shared library under its own installation. It was using the shared libraries for the lyx 1.3.1 version (under cygwin).
I renamed temporary my cygwin directory to something else so the qt lyx can not find it. Now I don't need any to set explicitly the converters it works "out of the box".
I guess there is some problem with my path since renaming the cywin directory temporary fixed the problem.

Hi;
You're not alone - I suffer the same problem and have done since
changing from the cygwin version. However, one thing that others have found successful is ensuring that
imagemagick convert.exe is in your path BEFORE any windows directories.
This is because of the system32 similarly named convert.exe being found
first and trying to convert the image into a FAT32 or NFTS file system!!
Even this though has not resolved the problem for me. Now I just use .eps images throughout and put up with not viewing them in the lyx gui but rely on viewing them in the DVI preview instead.

Hello,
I wonder if imagemagick has to be installed as a part of cygwin or can
I
use the native windows imagemagick when I want use the native qt lyx 1.3.2 on windows XP?
I tried installing a couple of months ago and couldn't get it to work (the image conversion) I debugged and was also in contact with Ruurd Reitsma directly. No solution back then.
I tried tonight again and same error.
Was the problem that I need the cygwin version of imagemagick?.
For my lyx 1.3.1 under cygwin I am using the native windows version of imagemagick. One would think it would work with the native qt version
of
Lyx as well then.

What does the debug output tell you? (lyx -dbg graphics)
What happens if you define a converter explicitly. Eg
\converter "eps" "png" "my_ps2png $$i $$o" "" \converter "eps" "ppm" "my_ps2ppm $$i $$o" "" \converter "png" "eps" "convert PNG:$$i EPS:$$o" ""
Sorry. I'm an idiot. "convert.exe" on my machine is the Windows
executable
that turns a DOS filesystem into an NTFS filesystem.
Turns out that I had not compiled and installed ImageMagick on that laptop.
I compiled and installed the latest ImageMagick under Cygwin and now it works.
