Dear Mr. Shafie, If I use XMLmind through Java Webstart on a Mac, everything works smoothly, except the imageviewport to render .eps images. The imageviewport works fine with .eps images on windows. *** I have GPL ghostscript 8.6.1 installed from: http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/gplgs-8.61-ub.dmg and I verifierd, that gs executable. *** I have put into my include file the follwing: <imageToolkit name="Ghostscript"> <description>Converts EPS and PDF graphics to PNG. Important: requires Ghostscript 8+.</description> <converter> <input extensions="eps pdf" magicStrings="%!PS %PDF"/> <output extensions="png"/> <shell command="gswin32c -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"" platform="Windows"/> <shell command="gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 - dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"" platform="Mac"/> <shell command="gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"" platform="Unix"/> <shell command="gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 - dEPSCrop %A "-sOutputFile=%O" "%I"" platform="GenericUnix"/> </converter> </imageToolkit> *** I have checked, that gs is properly working by typing the follwing command in a bash terminal. The test.png was properly generated: gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop -sOutputFile=test.png test.eps *** I have /usr/local/gs in my PATH by putting it into the .bash_profile. I have also tested the imageviewport with a direct path to gs in the include file, to exclude problems with the PATH variable: /usr/local/bin/gs Then XMLmind freezes while loding the document with a linked eps file.
*** What I also testet was the follwing command: /bin/sh gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dEPSCrop -sOutputFile=test.png test.eps I get the error message "cannot execute command" Can you see what error I am making? Kindest regards Thomas Dumm
