of course no objections... and this is cool :) eventually i will get to using epdf and eps for thumbnailing - maybe this should be done in epsilon now that epsilons' thumbnailer uses a buffer canvas only, any evas object can produce thumbnails... emotion possibly would be a good candidate too for move thumbs maybe instead of directly going to libxine? anyway. eps stuff.. all cool. > Hey, > > I would like to add a postscript rendering library in proto/ > > Its name : "eps".
