First contribution - looking to improve eps -> svg conversion ( or eps import ) - kickstart needed - Inkscape Devel

24 Jul 2018


      Hi Everyone,
I was looking into eps -> svg conversion and inkscape does an almost
perfect job if it wasn't that it trash layers information and group
information.
I started to dig into the code to figure out if it was something i could
look into and try to improve, i found so far this folder that seems to
handle the relevant code:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/tree/master/src/extension/internal/pdfi...
Is there anyone able to give me a quick input to know if that is the
correct code to look at, or if not point me to the right code files?
Also does anyone have information of why this feature is currently not
supported, if is a matter of use case missing, if just no one built it or
if is more about some technical problem that has been already discussed and
discarded?
To be honest i remember in the past opening some pdf with inkscapes and
having multiple ungrouping operations to do before hitting the single
objects, but as of now, if i create an eps with illustrators with group or
layers and then i import it in inkscape, i get a flat list of objects.
So maybe i just remember wrong.
I m not by any mean a c++ expert, i have svg and pdf knowledge and some c++
coding, but since i need this feature i would like at least to give it a
shot.
