dependancy bug in graphics conversion - modified image-files aren't updated/recopied to the temporary directory

[chr]

I've found this behaviour on RedHat 7.3 with Lyx 1.2 and 1.2.1

When inserting XFig or TGIF-images, there is a bug in the sense that the
image-file is only copied to the /tmp/lyx_tempdir../lyx_tempbuf-directory
once, and not copied again if the image-file is modified.

To produce this behaviour:

1) Insert an .fig (XFig) or .obj (TGIF) image in a Lyx-document
2) Display the Lyx-document with for instance Ctrl-d
3) Modify the .fig or .obj-file
4) Redisplay the Lyx-document

I've found two temporary ways to get around this. If you're lazy,
just restart Lyx. Otherwise, execute something like this on your prompt
(I'm assuming tcsh):

find /tmp/lyx* -name "*.fig" -exec rm {} \;

which fill find and delete all .fig-files in Lyx's temporary
directories.

This is the normal dependency (FileMonitor) problem Angus ?

yes, fixedintrunk, I've just confirmed.

* #636 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *

There will probably be no 1.2.3. Therefore, fixedintrunk -> FIXED
