Description aln 2006-03-03 12:21:28 UTC 
Trying to insert a EPS file on Writer.
The existing EPS Preview is not shown, when this Preview is "Transparent"
Example of such EPS:

http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/logos/ooo2-logo(black-
outlines).eps

Editing the file with Illustrator and changing the Preview to "Opaque" solves 
the problem.

Writer should be able to display ALL EPS preview.

Reassigned to requirements.

The preview is not transparent, it is missing (I guess).

In that case OOo cannot display the image without the use of helper programs.
(the feature of using helper programs was added for OOo 2.0.2 - so you need one
of the developer-milestones or release-candidates of OOo 2.0.2 to test, see
issue 9290)

(pstoedit or convert (from ImageMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org/>) or
ghostscript - tried in that order)

Generating the preview works fine on my linux box.

So please try to install one of the helper programs and try again.

Worksforme.

I'm sorry for reopening this issue, but...

This is WRONG. 
The example: ooo2-logo(black-outlines).eps DOES include a preview.
The problem for OOo 2.0.1 is that this preview has a transparent background.
This can easily be checked, i.e. opening the file with www.irfanview.com

I hope that 2.0.2 will solve this problem. 
Will the "helper programs" generate a preview that already exists ?

Update. Testing version 2.0.2 on Windows XP
Using same example (notice: the full link must be selected !)
http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/logos/ooo2-logo(black-
outlines).eps

When inserting this EPS on Writer, a black "convert.exe" window opens briefly. 

Final result: NO PREVIEW...
Seems an open issue.

Using OpenOffice 2.3 m211 on WinXP still no preview for .eps files at 
http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/logos/
(for example
http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/marketing/logos/ooo-main-logo-
col-pms.eps ).

Dear developers, please consider this issue for 2.3 because it is just plain 
embarassing to not being able to use our own logos in our own Office.

I am also attaching poyasOut.eps that OpenOffice can't handle (while competing 
product can).
