No save as AI even after installing Ghostscript

Postby A.H.Vincent » Mon Aug 06, 2012 6:38 pm

HI

I just can't save anything that will open in AI, can't even copy and paste from Inkscape to AI either.

Tried EPS, PDF, PNG and any possible file extension under the drop down, tried exporting as bitmap..tried openign in Gimp, Photoshop, Paint.net.....


Nothing works, there must be a way to do this that is simple?

Thanks

Save your work as *.svg.
Modern AI (>10 ?, > CS ?) should be able to open it (at least if there are no filters involved ; looks like there are discarded with CS4)

From rev log it looks like AI export was dropped with v0.47 of inkscape (for being buggy, and because AI switched to PDF)
