Ah sorry, that LyX Version number was lost during editing the email. LyX was installed using the installer "LyX-2.0.3-1-Installer.exe", which should be the latest one. Anyway, the problem did not seem Image-Magick related to me. Switching to using "convert.exe" for PDF->PNG conversion fixed the problem after all. It was the default converter, that did not work -- and that uses ps2eps in an intermediate step, which should be related to the LaTeX distribution rather than Image Magick. Your answer seems to indicate, that LyX is meant to use Image Magick for PDF previewing by default though. Deleting my local LyX settings and running "reconfigure" didn't solve the problem, so it SHOULD not be a problem with my local settings. Just to be sure, I found a work-around, as said before. So my interest in that behaviour is more or less academic right now. :-) kind regards, Klaus-Dieter
