LyX ⇒ Lyx 2.1.2 OSX Yosemite

[ismyth]

Hi

I have being using Lyx on my mac for years but with the new upgrade, I started having "Error converting to loadable format" when inserting PDF images in Lyx.

I reinstalled ImageMagick etc. and discovered that when I run lyx from from the command line (bash shell) the error does not happen. If I run Lyx from finder or Spotlight it reappears.

I debugged the loading and below you can see the failure when convertDefault.py is called
As I said running lyx from command line results in "graphics/GraphicsCacheItem.cpp (264): Image conversion succeeded."

thanks
Ivan
