Hi Fernand,Please CC the developer list :-) On Wed, 2012-05-23 at 12:12 +0200, Fernand Vanrie wrote:Thanks for your interest, but i need some answers:Sure.Will EPS in the future been exported as Vector Graphics ?I know of no-one working on it; but it's a nicely self-contained task to work on - writing an EPS import filter that would convert that to an ODF graphic.SVG still problematic when exported to PDF.Right; I suspect it depends on how it is imported, whether as vectors, or as higher-res bitmaps (for embedded objects).i just "inserted" the famous Pingouin in a writer doc, neither LO 3.5 and neither OO 3.4 do a correct export to pdf.The SVG work is ongoing. If you insert an object in writer oyu will get a bitmap, if you load it in draw then paste it in you'll get an editable vector graphic; as/when we get the vector mode really good we'll drop the bitmap mode.I guess someone else would want to chip in here - but really, the best place to ask is the users-list - this is not a development related question about a code contribution.Sorry, i hoped to find here a developer to produce the code ? and we are candidate to sponsor this effortAh - so if you want to contract someone to do the work; it's good to mention that :-) I guess there are prolly two things you could ask for - you could (perhaps) use the WMF preview mode of EPS, and (if we don't already) make the support for that work nicely in LibreOffice - that may be a producer-side problem. You could also get an EPS -> ODF import filter, which shouldn't be impossibly hard to get something quite useful. I'd poke Lanedo, Credativ, Collabora, Codethink - that sort of consultancy for a price - or perhaps someone here would like to jump on that :-) I'd suggest thinking in the order of $10k+ - what is your
my budget is more 1k+ oriented :-)
budget ?Either way sorry for the hassle; the hope is that the SVG rendering will eventually get good enough that it will provide a good solution here.Will that been possible in the near Future ?Nearness is affected only by the level of investment ;-) but in the next six months I think it's unlikely. All the best, Michael.
