Could you augment conversionDefault.sh please. I want to establish whether it is invoked successfully by LyX. .... Ahhh. I see one problem with the script... This: FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 2` will return 'C', not 'your/file.ppm' from the string 'ppm:C:your/file.ppm'. Let's use FILE=`echo $2 | sed ',^[^:]*:,,'` instead. Could you replace your copy of convertDefault.sh with the one attached. Running LyX from the command line should produce some additional messages if the script is invoked successfully. -- Angus
