Package: ipe
Version: 6.0pre28-4
Severity: important
Ipe 6.0pre28-4 fails to export to eps file correctly, both from the
program menu and by using ipetoipe tool.
I created a test abc.xml file, containing a dot and "A" letter. The
contents are as follows:
---- abc.xml file start ---
<ipe version="60028" creator="Ipe 6.0 preview 28">
<info created="D:20040905192511" modified="D:20071117132229"

---- abc.xml file end ---
Output from the execution of ipetoipe is as follows:

The generated abc.eps file is a just white field. The bounding box size is
correct, but there is no dot or "A" letter displayed. Export to pdf works
both from ipe and using ipetoipe tool.
What is interesting the information displayed during export to pdf and
to eps is exactly the same:
[tuptus 13:27:05] ~/temp> ipetoipe -pdf abc.xml abc.pdf > aaa
Document abc.xml has 1 pages (views)
Pdflatex was run sucessfully.
[tuptus 13:27:21] ~/temp> ipetoipe -eps abc.xml abc.eps > bbb
Document abc.xml has 1 pages (views)
Pdflatex was run sucessfully.
[tuptus 13:27:35] ~/temp> diff aaa bbb
[tuptus 13:27:38] ~/temp>
I do not know whether this is expected behavior, but it seems that
ipetoipe calls pdflatex no matter if it is exporting to pdf or to eps.
I tried to make an *.eps out of *.pdf using
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=abc.eps abc.pdf
It yields an eps file containing a dot and "A" letter, but the bounding
box is incorrect (it takes the whole A4 paper).
