Hello,
I've been using the PAF Scribus with Ghostscript without issue for some time. Today I hit a wall in Inkscape trying to import an EPS file. Inkscape was not able to find the paths to the GS files.
With some trial and error, I hit upon this as a way to fix it:
I edited the \InkscapePortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\InkscapePortable.ini by adding the following line at the end of the [Environment] section:
PATH=%PAL:PortableAppsDir%\CommonFiles\Ghostscript\bin;%PAL:PortableAppsDir%\CommonFiles\Ghostscript\lib;%PATH%
This appeared to work; no more error in the extension-errors log about EPS and ps2pdf and the file will open (though the ones I did try seemed to be memory monsters and popped a C++ runtime error after sucking up all available ram).
My main concern is I'm curious if this change will stick should an update to Inkscape become available via the normal update process, or will I have to reinstate this path code? Is this even the proper way to fix it, or have I done something wrong to begin with (sequence of install GS after Inkscape or vice-versa)?
Thanks for any pointers!
