Comment 2 for bug 964305

So, you think the whole problem is in Gtk, and if they start supporting .eps images, zim will support them as well automatically?

The .png preview is a great idea! Actually it doesn't have to modify the text source. As you suggested when the .eps image is requested to be inserting onto the page the plugin could take the original .eps, convert it, e.g., into a small .png, and place it into the corresponding folder. Then whenever the .eps reference is encountered in the document the plugin (or zim) would try to show the .png file in the folder before reporting the error.

What does it take to write such a plugin?

Thanks,
Max
