Okay, I'm gonna try and implement the image converter preference menu.

So far, I've been able to hack into the Scheme source with relative ease, and I added a menu item specifying, for now, either "Default" or "ImageMagick" -- with more options to come!

I also located (thanks to the patch) the image_to_png function, which converts images to PNG.

How would you guys take into account the value of the preference menu in the C++ code then? I haven't seen anything binding image_to_png into Scheme, so I guess the rendering has to happen entirely in the C++ code, but I can't seem to find where...

Anyway, I hope I'm doing this right ;)

Cheers,
François-Xavier

Hmm, so there's no hope of seeing that fixed in the near future?

Is there a workaround that doesn't involve using eps2write, other than using ImageMagick? Or is there a way we can manually add something that does exactly that to the TeXmacs source?

Or, perhaps better, can we add an option to the Preferences menu for using either ImageMagick or GS? That way, the default will still work, but since for most people ImageMagick is installed, that will provide an easy solution that doesn't require recompiling TeXmacs with a patch!

I'm shooting in the dark right there, as I don't know much about the TeXmacs architecture, or GhostScript for that matter, so tell if I'm saying nonsense ;)
