Bug Description
Hi all,
I'm eager to use Inkscape, but right now it is difficult
because I cannot reuse most of my previous work. I
understand that you prefer to focus on the SVG format
now, but in the future, would it be possible to
import/export Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) with
Inkscape?
EPS is a variant of PS and it is maybe the only standard
format for vector drawing. EPS is imported/exported by
well-known vector drawing applications, such as Adobe
Illustrator or Xfig. (The latter is still in use for scientific
papers figure drawing in Unix-only labs.)
Anyway, thanks for pushing forward the boundaries of
vector graphics with Inkscape!
David.

Following a chat with mental in #scribus, I would recommend
seriously looking at the new Scribus importer, as it imports
all the EPS/PS as editable vectors (embedded images are not
yet supported) .
This could be done as an extention, as it would require
Ghostscript as a depedency, but we are very pleased with the
results so far.
