LyX Error convert to loadable format - error handling
This question used to spend my half a day, and this time again, half a day. Here I write it down in case that somebody encounter the same problem as I do.
LyX is good for handling LaTeX. When using figures in LyX, it's better to have thumbnails in LyX. However in my computer, where I use a portable LyX with MikTeX package, the processor fails, where shows "Error converting to loadable format".
Several questions have been raised regarding this problem, refer to :
- lyx “error converting to loadable format”
- Lyx, Error Converting to Loadable Format for PDFs
- How LyX handles figures
However, all the above solutions failed for my case. I nearly gave up. However I continued and finally succeeded. Steps are stated as follows:
- Install a LyX distribution, named as "LyX-232-2-Installer-10.exe", and it works well;
- Change the installation path(Originally being
D:\Lyx 2.3
) intoD:\Lyx 2.30
, however it fails; - I searched through all the files underneath
D:\Lyx 2.3
for keywordsD:\Lyx 2.3
, and changed them intoD:\Lyx 2.30
, well, it didn't work. - I searched thought the registry for the same keyword, not work.
- Revert the folder into
D:\Lyx 2.3
, and a copy of the folder in somewhere else (actually, not the copy of this installation, but the old one I used to working on); - Rename the subfolders one by one, and test whether the copy works well;
- Finally, I found the problem was raised by the
Magick
, what a sad thing. - There is another distribution of magick available the whole computer (e.g. in the global environment), and I delete the one underneath LyX. Well done.
