      Can you please explain how to change the viewing mode to “Text” after entering the edit mode. Thank you!

      I decided to install the GS package as it was simpler, at first glance it did not work, but I just copied the lib folder content to bin folder an voila!, easier installation and Inkscape is working with EPS as well.

    Hello, a simpler workaround (when you have admin rights) seems to me to :
    1 install Ghostscript,
    2. then install Scribus ( an excellent desktop publishing application, free as in free speech ;) )
    3. open the .eps with Scribus and then save as .svg
    4. open with Inkscape
    Works for me so far. Thanks for the tutorial anyway :)

    wow, incredible, after 7 years it still works, i have been going crazy and cursing adobe and everyone who uses eps files. it's wild that the solution is so comparably easy to do once you know how

  • @angelalhk
    @angelalhk 5 лет назад +1

    i must say a big THANK YOU, it works!!! Just a note that I am using windows 7 64bit, the PATH in the edit environment is slightly different from what is shown, it does not have the 'add new' part so I just add on the C:/gs to the existing path as shown as a first method and it works perfectly. I am now able to edit my eps files :)

  • @d.brentharsh184
    @d.brentharsh184 Год назад

    Emphasize that step of *restart* inkscape... I didn't think to do that at first, and it didn't pick up whatever magic ghostscript has installed! Great, succinct tutorial...

    Worked for me aswell, WIndows 10. I Installed Ghostscript using Chocolatey. Powershell > choco install ghostscript > my ghostscript files ended up in: C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.50\, I put the bin-folder in my path and also copied all files inside lib-folder into bin. Works! Thanks you!

  • @Trumani
    @Trumani 5 лет назад +1

    This was incredibly helpful 2 years later, thank you! Wish I had found it sooner. One thing I noticed is that I was able to install onto my desktop and before clicking finish on the install prompt still modify the files. This saved me from downloading 7-zip

    got trojan, got rid of trojan,
    got inkscape, can't import,
    watched vid, can import,
    turns out the vector I wanted doesn't even have different layers, it's just a flat image. :/
    But now I can atleast look for a different vector!

    Before the Import Settings window pops up I get a pop up with this message :
    Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected:
    ps2pdf executed but logged the following error:

    In which my only option is "OK"
    And although I get no error, I just get a blank file opened in inkscape.
    any help?

    If you decide to install the "gs" folder to some place different as I did (eg: C:\myinstallations\software\inkscape\gs) then this tip will make things easier for you:
    Once you're finished pasting the contents of lib into gs, on the left-hand side of windows explorer open the directory tree, work your way down to the gs folder, click on that folder - and yep, the contents opens in the right-hand side. But that's not what we're interested in. Direct your gaze to the little address bar that is above the directory tree (on the left) and the contents (on the right) and if you left click in there it will conveniently show the address to this folder...
    ...right-click that and copy. Or left click, highlight, and control+c...whatever you normally do to copy a line of text...
    ...and now when you get to the environment variables you can click new and instead of typing simply control+V (paste) in the string. No typing! Yay.
