The converted images are chached, so this would not really matter. You might have a look at the chache configuration in Tools>Settings, though. OTOH, kpdf is quite slow -- especially if you are not using KDE. Setting this to xpdf, say, in the Tools>Settings>Formats>PDF* variants might speed things up. > In some cases two pictures which should be on a line are put on > different lines and the need a whole page, i.e. the first picture is at > the beginning of the upper half of a page, the second one in the lower > half of the page, right justified. Looks like your pictures are too wide (or you have a space inbetween: 50% + 50% + space > 100% ;-). As automatic line-breaking is not shown in LyX, you see this only in the output. > I could overcome this problem putting the picturers in one big minipage, > then the two pictures which should stay beside each other in two single > minipages which again are put in a minipage for the "line". In the minipage, if the pictures do not fit on the line, they have no chance to sort otherwise, so the line will become too long (have a look at the "overfull line" warnings in the Document>LaTeX_log).
