I've been using LyX to prepare some educational material for some time already.
I'm writing the text using the book class and I'm splitting the chapters into separate files. Inside the text, I include a number of figures, which I keep in JPEG format to save space. The first time I want to print any portion of the text, or simply view it on the screen, LyX takes some time converting to EPS all the images in all the chapters included in the book. So far, so good; the problem is that every time that I make some modification and want to take another look, it goes on to converting ALL the images again, even though the EPS files are already created. Well, this is very annoying, because I have a large number of figures and each time I want to take a look at the final layout it spends some minutes converting the images all over again... and this seems to be the default behaviour of LyX. Is there no way to instruct the program to use the figures already converted?
