This would make the whole process much easier to handle.
ok - step by step. First, I define a new filetype e.g. "ICC-profile" with .icc extension. Than I define a converter from icc to ??? (I used png, and included the file as a graph which I commented out manualy - ugly). As a copier, I tried ext_copy -e icc $p $r (don't remember the exact variables anymore, not well documented), but lyx allways wants to rename the copied files to <number>-filename style, so this didn't work. There should be some better way! Egon
