Title: Error while trying to open .eps file
Post by: Unbeknownst on July 05, 2024, 03:32:04 PM
Hi, I just installed Scribus 1.4.6 on my PC running Windows 11 Pro. I also installed  Ghostscript, after downloading it from their website. When I try to open a .eps file, I get the message: "Importing filename.eps failed!" Please advise as to what I should do to get the file to open in Scribus. Thanks in advance.

1.4.6 is a very old version.

Try 1.6.2

I noticed though that when googling for "scribus download" you end up on an old wiki page saying 1.4.6 is the latest version....
