Version: 2.3.0 (using 4.3.85 (KDE 4.3.85 (KDE 4.4 Beta2)), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32 Gwenview shows EPS images as a rater picture: when you zoom it in, you can see a square for every pixel. Okular work fine with EPS.
For me, the same is true for Okular now, and it is very frustrating. I create a lot of plots from gnuplot using eps, and it is vital for me to have a program that displays them as vector graphics. $ okular --version Qt: 4.8.5 KDE Development Platform: 4.11.2 Okular: 0.17.2
Yngve, could you please report a bug for Okular separately? Ideally, attach a small .eps file there for testing.

1) Also in 4.12.2 gwenview shows .eps files as a rasterimage. 2) (at least for my desktop/laptop) dolphin prefered gwenview to view eps files, with 2nd choice okular which shows the eps fine as a vector graphics. Easy to fix for me with RMB and properties dialog, but other may get a wrong impression when the default app (gwenview) only uses raster. Maybe there is a way to declare okular more preferable for eps files than gwenview? Achim
gwenview.desktop contains a 'fix' for image/* that introduces a regression for eps aka image/x-eps files: ... # InitialPreference should be greater than Okular so that Gwenview is the # primary application associated with images, but less than Konqueror or Dolphin # so that Gwenview is not the primary applications for folders. InitialPreference=8 ... Most images types are better handled with gwenview than okular, but it's definitely not the case for eps files. Amorak had a similar problem with container files: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242292. Using their solution would be a introduce a 2nd desktop file identical to gwenview.desktop except with new values for: applications/kde4/gwenview_vectorformats.desktop: ... # Okular.desktop has InitialPreference 7, gwenview 8, therefore use for all image/* formats # that are better handled by Okular than by gwenview Preference of 6 [bug #220806] MimeType=image/x-eps InitialPreference=6 NoDisplay=true ... Caveats: * according to fd.o desktop standard InitialPreference is KDE only. And MimeType prefs should be handled elsewhere * Lots of duplications 99% of a desktop file So there must be a better/elegant solution. I just don't know/found it. As David Faure worked on the fd.o standard I've subscribe him to this bug. @David: sorry if that is considered inappropriate (what should I've done instead?) I hope you can point us to the right direction to fix this (the other similar problem I can then fix myself). Thx a lot in advance. Achim
Still a problem with git master. Rather than adjusting the load order, we should just fix Gwenview's ability to display .eps vector graphics.
