Kivio doesn't export to EPS

[Alexander L. Belikoff]

Binary package hint: kivio

Kivio is expected to export to EPS and some other vector formats as well as to Dia format. None of those options are available. With kivio 1:1.6.3-0ubuntu5.2 and kivio-data 1:1.6.3-0ubuntu5.2 installed only a handful of image formats is available (BMP, JPEG). After installing koffice metapackage, several other formats appeard (TIFF and ILM) bot still no PostScript/EPS and Dia formats.

Kivio can only export to the formats JPEG, PNG and BMP. The following may be useful:

# rpm -qa | grep koffice
koffice-kexi-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-kivio-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-karbon-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-core-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-filters-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-kspread-1.6.3-6.fc7
koffice-libs-1.6.3-6.fc7

Maybe in conjunction with other koffice parts more export options are offered
(try to install the koffice-suite meta-package). I guess other then that all
formats that should be supported are, or are you missing any specific option
that should be present...

Thanks, Andreas. Indeed, installing koffice-suite does the trick. However, in my
opinion, it is not a nice solution, as I would not like to have the complete
koffice-suite installed.

Sadly there is not much I can do about this atm so I will close this as notabug.

Kivio has been removed from distribution in Kubuntu 10.04, and will no longer be receiving further updates or bugfixes. Thanks for your bug report all the same.
