Problem with captions in floats
I am using LyX 1.2.0, and have come across a rather annoying problem with captions. In order to insert an EPS file in my document I follow the procedure outline in paragraph 4.3.1.1 of the LyX User's Guide. Once the figure is inserted, still inside the float I type a carriage return at the end of the inserted figure and change to the Caption mode, so that the caption itself appears below the figure. Next, I add my label for the figure, and the text of the caption. At this point everything looks all right at the LyX window. If I view my document by doing View - DVI or View - Postscript from the main menu, the figure appears just as expected. The problem is, when I print the resulting Postscript file, the captions are printed each in a page on their own. I have tried in four different printers, with the same results. I guess there is some problem with my printer software, but I would like to know if the way in which I am inserting the EPS files first, and create the captions afterwards, is correct. Feedback will be much appreciated. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com

Imported figures in version 1.2.0
I have a number of EPS figures imported into a LyX document. In LyX 1.1.6 whenever I reached the point in the document at which a figure is imported, the figure would show up immediately. Now with LyX 1.2.0 the figure is piped through convert, an ImageMagick utility, in order to translate it into a loadable format. This takes some time. Worse, if there are (say) four figures in a document, the insertion points of which can be seen in a single LyX page (albeit they might correspond to several printed pages,) LyX launches four concurrent convert jobs. This is extremely slow and inefficient, even with a respectable CPU and lots of RAM. Is there a way to disable this behavior? I mean, if I am going to have to wait several seconds every time I stumble upon an EPS figure in my document, before the actual figure pops up, I'd rather just see its insertion point only - I can always visualize the actual document much more conveniently from the View menu. In a nutshell, the new approach to graphics, using ImageMagick, is not such a great idea, from the point of view of the user - not only is it much slower than in earlier versions but, in addition, it forces one to install ImageMagick, a rather big package for which I have no use, otherwise. __ Do You Yahoo!?
