title: Gimp crashes when trying to open EPS file on Windows 7
body: <p>I am going insane on this.</p>
  
  <p>I want to open an EPS file using Gimp 2.8.2 installed on a Windows 7 32-bit system (I think the PC itself is 64-bit but for some reason we have 32-bit Windows installed).</p>
  
  <p>I first tried using <a href="http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-external-programs.html" rel="nofollow">the instructions on the Gimp site</a>. Installed Ghostscript, created the path variable, all nothing doing. Totally useless Gimp message saying "Unable to open the file" (I knew that already).</p>
  
  <p>Hunted all over the Internet and finally came across <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689207#c48" rel="nofollow">this Bugzilla report</a>. Comment 48 suggested that I should just be able to install 2.8.14 with Postscript support and it should work out of the box.</p>
  
  <p>So I uninstalled Gimp, checked the file had gone from the directory list, and installed the new version. Still can't open the EPS file, and it now crashes Gimp with a message just saying "Plugin crashed: "file-ps.exe".</p>
  
  <p>Just to make sure the images are actually ok I went to my Ubuntu system and installed Gimp (2.8.10 this time), opened the eps file... and it works like a charm, no problem.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has a solution I would be deeply grateful</p>
