So, contrary to what is said in the LyX Wiki, it seems that the important
converter for the preview is svg=>PPM.
ppm or png can be equally shown within LyX.
I have tried to keep the orginal
convertDefault.py, and defined a filter svg=>PPM with the following command:
inkscape $$i --export-png=$$o.png;convert $$o.png $$o
(the redirection does not seem to work in command line, I have not found
another solution than the semicolon in command line).
AFAIK, the semicolon is not for redirection but for command separation,
you might want to use '>' instead. But I am not sure that this syntax is
understood by LyX built-in command interpreter. You should probably
create a helper script with python (say svg2ppm.py) where you call the
two command above. But I am not sure this is the problem as, as I said,
png is understood by LyX. By the way, what display option did you choose
in the external inset configuration dialog?
Maybe you could send your addition to external-template to the list.
