[OS X TeX] Is there a better alternative to \DeclareGraphicsExtensions ?

[Ramón Figueroa-Centeno]

Aloha,

Here is an answer to my own question:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epspdfconversion} % or \usepackage{epstopdf}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}
\AppendGraphicsExtensions{.tif}
% See .log file for a list of known graphics 
% extensions
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{Hello} % Do not use a suffix. That way Hello.tif will be converted to Hello.png
\end{document}

The \AppendGraphicsExtensions command appends to the list of known graphic extensions (to prepend use \PrependGraphicsExtensions).

That way TIFFs get converted only once to PNGs (the other solution presented in the list, using tif2png.sty, is better in the sense that it detects when the TIFFs are updated and reconverts them).

Ramón
