    Hi,

    I get following text when I try to import eps files.

    Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.

    ps2pdf executed but logged the following error:
    Error: /undefinedfilename in (C:\\Users\\mg820\\Desktop\\Logo p svart.eps)

    I´ve Inkscape 0.92.5

    I´ve follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRKTtTw65hw but it still not work.

    Thank you for your time.

    Now I only get "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." with a empty box under.

    You did not mention your Windows version or shared any testfiles, so this is what I have done.

    Tested Inkscape 0.92.5 and Inkscape 1.0rc1 (7z format) on Windows 10 (64 bit).
    Worked fine with testfiles in C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.52\examples

    Tested Inkscape 0.92.5, Inkscape 1.0rc1 and Ghostscript on PortableApps.com Platform.
    Worked fine with testfiles in \PortableApps\Ghostscript\examples

    The installation of Ghostscript and Inkscape on PortableApps.com Platform do not require additional paths and can be used alongside your existing installation.

    I use windows 10 64-bit.
    I don't know how to get the test files you are looking for.
    I'm sorry but the information in the comment above doesn't tell me anything.

    You can use the link in my previous post, or you can do as follows.
    Start Inkscape
    Open menu Help > FAQ > 15. How to open EPS files in Windows

    The examples folder is found where Ghostscript is installed on your computer.
    You can also create your own testfiles using Inkscape. Save as Encapsulated PostScript (*.eps), then try to open it in Inkscape.

    Same problem still.  Have tried the eps file in ghostscript but it didn't help either.

    Forgive me, when I closed the box with the error message, the eps file was opened from ghostscript but I can't open my other eps files.  Is it because they were created in an older version of inkscape?

    Someone who can answer why I can't open the eps files I created with inkscape earlier but the ones I create now work?

    Just rename your file. Remove å, and it should open just fine.
