(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kword Version: 1.1.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc 2.95.3 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Bugs: ===== EPS Files can only be imported if they don't have a preview included. (tested with various tiff formats and wmf) Warning: before printing the preview has to be stripped of. Instead of using the included preview the application calculates a new preview. This is too time consuming. (Perhaps a good option for EPS files without preview) Generaly an imported EPS file shouldent be touched at all. (Except for stripping of the preview) As far as i know scaling and cropping of an image can be done outside of the EPS. When i finaly print the document i get the preview (low resolution) and not the included EPS file. This happens also when i print to a PS file and look at the result with ghostview. Nice to have's: =============== The Page size A4 seems to be defined as 209.755 x 296.333 mm instead of 210 x 297. When i scale the image with the dialog and i use 210 x 297 the command isn't executed because the resulting image is too large the application should apply automaticaly the correct size. Better would be to define the page size correctly or to use at least a size wich is a bit too large. The error on the page height ist over 0.6 mm perhaps you need also a finer grid. scaling the image by dragging a side (not a corner) should result in a changed aspect ratio. Contrary in the dialog box it would be nice to have the possibility to fix the aspect ratio. cropping could be realized with the possiblitiy to scale the image independend from the box. This would require also the possibility to move the picture inside the box. There should also be a possibility to link an image box against an externel file instead of including it. With large pictures it would speed up the opening of a document an working with it when the application has only to deal with the previews. It would be also possible to change the pictures without touching the document. Because pictures in professionel documents are often very large professional programs have the ability to print only the previews to make example printouts. The final printing occurs then with the full picture. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog. Fields Application KDE Version OS Compiler manually changed)

(Except for stripping of the preview) As far as i know scaling and cropping of an image can be done outside of the EPS. Do you have a description somewhere of how to extract a preview from an EPS file ? We currently give EPS files to the Ghostscript interpreter without extracting any preview from it. I'd be glad to add support for that but I'd need to be told how ;) > When i finaly print the document i get the preview (low resolution) and not the included EPS file. This happens also when i print to a PS file and look at the result with ghostview. That should be fixed in the current CVS I regenerated the pixmap using the current zoom and resolution. Hmm at least it fixed it when zooming or resizing the EPS image. Not sure what happens when printing needs to be tested (feel free ;) -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david http://www.konqueror.org KDE 3.0: Konquering the Desktops
The problem was partialy fixed. So called MS-DOS EPS files are now supported as if they were normal EPS files. (The preview is still not used.) Have a nice day/evening/night!
wishlist?
Wishlist and "not a filter"
Is this still valid wish in koffice 2?
Creating a preview is likely easier than it was 7 years ago, especially with the new codebase. So this bug is obsolete.
