    I'm having issues trying to export ABC notation to PDF in Easy ABC. I downloaded Ghostscript and tried to link it to the path it was saved in under ABC Settings, but when I click "export selection to PDF" nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Most likely the ps2pdf binary is not to be found. Check with "internals > messages" what the probklem is.

    Not working for me either in 1.3.8.6 or 1.3.8.7

    1.3.8.6 gave an error in Messages about the ghostscript path being a byte string rather than a unicode string. CHANGES for 1.3.8.7 says that was fixed but with that I get an invalid path with extra characters before and after the correct path.

    I am running from python source on Linux so got it to work by hard coding the correct path (as in the Files setting) in AbcToPDF. I don't know python well enough to find the actual problem in the source.

    Sorry, didn't save the exact error messages from internals > messages but the description above should be enough if others have the same problem.
