Correct. This is unfortunately hardcoded in LyX.
Is that still true? I take it to mean that I can't bypass LyX's use of
'convert' in converting my SVG first to a PNG?

Subject: SVGs with alpha channel transparency
Hi all
What's the right string of tools to embed an SVG with alpha-channel
transparency into a LyX document so that I get the alpha channel
appearing right in the end-product PDF file?
I've tried a few combinations such as intermediate EPS and PS file (no
transparency) and 'convert' (it goes to bitmap so I lose my hard-edged
lines). I think that I need to go for an 'encapsulated PDF' somehow,
perhaps using 'rsvg-convert' but so far haven't been able to make it work.
My particular case is contour plot with coloured regions overlaid,
generated from Matplotlib and hand-edited a little with Inkscape.
Has anyone had some experience with this that they could pass on?
There is a thread about SVG in the archive:

Transparency is not discussed however.
