There is an enhancement request already filed that has a patch: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4017 I haven't tested it and it looks to be forgotten, but I'm guessing there's a chance of seeing this feature in 2.1.

It probably wouldn't be all that hard to make this work. But you'd be surprised what actually works. This normally should work if you copy from an application that treats the image as an object, i.e not from the desktop or file manager, or an image viewer. In simple terms, copy image from file manager or desktop, paste in a normal word processor, copy that, paste in LyX. This, of course, if you don't wanna have to organise anything into your LyX project dir for use when you click the insert image button. Today I pasted a dozen images like that with 2 windows split side by side, and LyX even allowed me to insert a sub-float, 2 by 2 forming a 4-image figure. Just amazing, or maybe my expectations were too low :D -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Drag and drop image files to LyX
Is it possible somehow to drag and drop image files to LyX?

Btw, what problems are there with Imagemagick when lyx is installed without admin rights? Because it requires registry settings in HKLM. After discussing this with the ImAgemagick developers, they changs it but I haven't found the time to test and implement this yet. The installer says that it can't install it, but it is in my lyx folder? Because as user you cannot write to HKLM in the registry. I installed lyx 203 w/o admin rights and I haven't got any problems with image conversion. This is because we used a self-compiled ImageMagick which doesn't require keys in HKLM. But this is no proper solution, because we would then not always up to date with the latest IM version. Moreover we should not fork programs if there are tiny problems but try to encourage the developers to fix this. Check what version of IM you have in your 2.0.3 and what in the testing 2.0.4 and you see that yours is outdated (contains even security issues). However, with this installer I have. Give me some time. regards Uwe
RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I've attached my test file. Btw, what problems are there with Imagemagick when lyx is installed without admin rights? The installer says that it can't install it, but it is in my lyx folder? I installed lyx 203 w/o admin rights and I haven't got any problems with image conversion. However, with this installer I have.

As the Perl interpreter is there, it can be that I need to deliver more of its plugins.

In my program files folder though, not in my home folder. This is correct. Note that the installer is not yet ready to be used without admin priviledges. There are still many open issues but I'm currently working on this. thanks and regards Uwe nieuwbestand1.lyx Description: nieuwbestand1.lyx
