I like the goal, but making eps a document format will cause unwanted entries to show up in export and view menus. This shows again a limitation of our converter code, where you cannot easily suppress unwanted edges in the conversion graph. I believe however that it should work if you would instead use a new "EPS (cropped)" format similar to the new pdf format. Georg
