Well, the debug message says The image loader can load the following directly: bmp, gif, ico, jpeg, jpg, mng, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, svg, tif, tiff, xbm, xpm, Of these, LyX recognises the following formats: bmp, gif, jpg, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, svg, tiff, xbm, xpm Does Qt image loader really find automatically which of the supported formats are also recognised by LyX or is there some place in the lyx code where this list is hard-coded? >>>> It seems like you really have to save your svg clipped to the right size. >>> With the external inset, you can define a conversion method for >>> latex.

Can you also play with the transformation before the display in LyX to override the "as-is" rendering of an SVG file? Does the RasterImage template work for vector images as well (despite its name) or will the image be transformed to a bitmap? Günter
