Description

Bio-Formats currently cannot read or write multi-page EPS files. Since the EPS format supports multiple image planes per file, it makes sense to update the reader and writer to handle this.

Resolution set to invalid

From the EPS specification (specs/eps/eps.pdf):

"An encapsulated PostScript file is a PostScript language program describing the appearance of a single page."

Given that support for multiple pages is not defined in the specification (and we have no examples of multi-page EPS files), it doesn't make sense to add this to Bio-Formats.
