Re: [Inkscape-user] Save As EPS Brings up Printer Interface

Hi,
I've been poking around the site and can't find anything regarding the following oddity. When I moved to Fedora 8 and installed inkscape, I found that whenever I try to save as an eps file, the printer window would come up. This does not happen under windows and has not happened to me before under FC4.
Has anyone else found this issue? I'm presuming I'm missing a package somewhere or there is a misconfiguration. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Mark Lucas

Hi Mark, I have noticed the same problem. While I do not know of any fix from Inkscape's side, I managed a quick workaround. You can export an *.svg file to *.eps using the command line interface. Let's say the name of the file is somefile.svg and you want to export it as anyfilename.eps. Simply do: inkscape -E anyfilename.eps somefile.svg. This worked for me.

Hey People,
I just want to share a technique I discovered that I found pretty usefull. Maybe it's of use for some of you.
I wanted to change the background color in 52 files, and I couldn't find a way to do this with a command-line command. So, I opened all 52 files in Notepad++ (free downloadable). I looked up the definition for the page color and pressed 'ctrl+h'. Then I replaced
pagecolor="#000000"
with
pagecolor="#8080ff"
in **all open documents** at once and pressed 'save all open documents'.
Then, I repeated this proces with
borderopacity="0.0"
changing to
borderopacity="1.0"
I guess this is also understandable for not-to-tech-savy users, that's why I post it here. It would also be applicable for other properties, provided you can do an easy "search and replace". (well, even regular expressions are possible in Notepad++, but that's a bit tough, maybe).
