Summary0005568: eps files are not displayed correctly in scribus
DescriptionImporting a eps graphic into an image frame in scribus leads to a faulty displayed image. I tried the gs variants gs-gpl (8.54.dfsg.1-5) and gs-afpl (8.53-0.2). Both showed the same behaviour. Till scribus-ng (1.3.3.6.dfsg-1) and scribus (1.2.5.dfsg-5+b1) the pdf output was ok and till scribus (1.2.1-1) everything worked fine. The uploaded file is a eps file which isn't displayed correctly by the scribus version 1.3.3.8.dfsg+cvs20070409-2.
Steps To Reproducesee description.
Additional Informationgs and gv are displaying the attached file properly.
TagsNo tags attached.

Please import this via File > Import. It will import as vector and display and print far better. It also will be scaleable.

more testing tell me the generating application might be the issue

As the files I just uploaded show there is no problem when the EPS is either imported natively through File>Import>Import EPS/PS (the preferred way) or into an image frame. Output quality from an image frame is worse then from a natively imported eps, which is understandable, but it's visible. One thing I noticed was that the eps inserted into an image frame was at a low zoom level i.e. very small and when "fit to frame" was chosen the image was moved beyond the frame, so it was effectively "invisible" until I used Y position control to move it up. You could be running into that.

Issue with that .eps is fixed now, but that .eps isn't really conforming to the PS and DSC specifications.

Konqui,

decrease the zoom level and you'll see your image, move it with Y:Pos. spinbox.

Franz fixed this issue by creating a workaround for such broken bounding box EPS files. I have updated packages in our repository and the original reporter confirmed the fix in 1339cvs. Time to close the issue.
