2015-03-02 12:31:59 Mihai Sorin Dobrescu description First of all, I do not know the internales of Cairo library and the GhostScript. Inkscape can export EPS using Cairo, but the import needs third party tool GhostScript. I request to have EPS import too by Inkscape and not GhostScript. The import is not the same as the exported SVG. For example, draw a rectangle with a gradient without transparencies. Inkscape will create an EPS which is clearly vector. However, at import by GhostScript, into Inkscape, the gradient rectangle becomes a raster. The same result is achieved at EPS import in Illustrator. I have used Inkscape 0.91 release version, not beta. First of all, I do not know the internals of Cairo library and the GhostScript.
