Well, I think there must be 2 steps of conversion - one for displaying the image in LyX and one for the DVI output. -- Is that right?

When I use SVG as source format, which conversions take place for which situation?
What is the preferred format for LyX and for DVI output?

I thought (might be somehow wrong):
For DVI output, an EPS is required, therefore the SVG->EPS converter.
For LyX display, PNG is required, therefore SVG->PNG converter.

Nevertheless, Lyx also displays the image without the PNG conversion listet, but there is a difference. With the PNG conversion, the background is the same as the window background, without it is white.

Can anybody explain, which conversion applies in which situation?

Thanks!

Cz.

I was wrong, LyX will use imagemagicks convert program in that case. You
need to set the SVG-PNG converter to a script that first exports to eps and then converts that to png. Maybe the link posted by Jean-Pierre helps here.

One question in this respect: Does LyX save temp files of the converted
images which are displayed? Shall I empty any cache?

No, it does not have a cache.
