How come GIMP fails to load these images? (Note they are zip-ed) http://www.liljeholmstorget.nu/press.html

Hi Carol,

EPS-files require an additional showpage command submitted to ghostscript. This is usually done by the ps-plugin. But these binary PostScript files (I have never seen before) are not recognized as EPS-files. The plug-in is not looking at the extension. If you or Gustav are working with Linux, you can use a workaround. Create a file /tmp/gs_eps with the following content:

#!/bin/sh args=`echo $* | sed -e 's/eps -c quit/eps -c showpage -c quit/'` exec gs $args

(Note the different ` and ´). Make it executable:

chmod 755 /tmp/gs_eps

Set an environment variable in the bash:

export GS_PROG=/tmp/gs_eps

and start gimp from that shell:

gimp TORG_illustration.eps

For Windows I don't know an appropriate workaround.

Sincerely

Peter

Just as well, I am not sure a young girl like you should read words like 'butiker' and 'torget'. ;-)

Strangely enough, gsview/ghostscript is able to open the image. (I thought GIMP used ghostscript internally?)

thank you for this. i am going to forward it to the list, as there seems to be some confusion there about gimp and postscript. it should go online somewhere, i think ....

thanks again, carol

ps. branko, i have little notes to myself that are old than you ....

Hi,

the corrected plug-in is available in source and executable for Linux/i386 at http://www.kirchgessner.net

Sincerely
