Inkscape crashes with parallel execution

- could you attach the .eps file
- does this command work when you execute it from a DOS prompt without using Java
- are you getting the preview window that normally shows up when you load a ps file?

> using Java + Inkscape [ver 0.48] .

Please provide detailed information about which Inkscape version you use (see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape')

Unless you use Inkscape >= 0.48.4, command line opening of EPS files fails unless specifying absolute paths, always:
- Bug #695120 “cannot open relative paths using script extensions ...”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/695120>

The conversion of EPS to SVG works fine when run from the DOS mode.
(I have attached few sample EPS files in the previous post.)

The issue arises only when the conversion is done parallely(asynchronous) form two separate threads.

No preview window is shown during the conversion however an error pop up(attached here with) appears under the failure conditions.

I am using Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 and all the command line calls have images referred through there fully qualified paths.

- just writing to confirm that the conversion works normally for me as well, when run from DOS, using Inkscape 0.48.4 and Windows 7
- what is mgs.exe ? Is your java code running it?

do you have multiple versions of Ghostscript installed? When you run gswin32c do you get something like this? gswin32c is the program that Inkscape calls.

Thanks for quick look..
mgs.exe is some kind of error pop-up from ghost script and not part of my java application.
I have only one version of ghost script installed on my system ver [8.54].

on running the gswin32c from my command prompt, i get the below messages

are you able to run other types of conversions using Java, that do not require the use of Ghostscript?

For example could you run the conversion of the type
inkscape -f "inFile.svg" -l "outFile.svg"
which would presumably convert Inkscape svg into plain svg.
