Gimp 2.6.5: No encapsulated postscript supported?
Date:Wed, 4 Mar 2009 23:47:14 +0100
Hi, after I recently downloaded Gimp 2.6.5 for Mac (Tiger, universal binary) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimponosx I noticed that EPS files cannot be opened anymore. Although there opens a EPS-specific dialog (set resolution, antialias etc.) I get an error message "Opening file example.eps" failed: Encapsulated PostScript image plug-In could not open image" On 2.6.3 downloaded from the same project there were no problems, and since I very often work with EPS (as a primary Gnuplot output format) I had to downgrade again. Did I find a bug, has there been a problem with the current build (maybe compiled on a computer where no EPS resources were installed), or is EPS to be removed entirely from Gimp? Or is 2.6.5 just a preliminary development version that doesn't contain all the plugins? I remember that I had a similar problem with an earlier version (must be around 2.2 or 2.3 or so): After downloading the new version EPS didn't work anymore. Is there any 2.6.5 version for Mac OS-X Tiger PPC around that is a full Gimp build and can handle any format that is intended to work in Gimp? Ingo
