--- Comment #33 from RichardKirk <richard at filmlight.ltd.uk> ---
I had a workaround by adding the pstoedit path using 'launchctl config user
path'. This was not pretty, and has stopped working with the upgrade to Big
Sur.

Running from a terminal works because 'pstoedt' is on my path, but it brings in
a lot of other directories. They seem harmless, but I am not keen. The best
solution I can some up with is to add the following line to my .zshrc file...

alias soffice="set LO_PREFER_GS_FOR_EPS && set PATH &&
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice"

If you type 'soffice' at a new terminal session, you get office using
Ghostscript instead of pstoedit, so the EPS files appear in the PDF exports.

Any better suggestions welcomed. Is there a neat way to set
LO_PREFER_GS_FOR_EPS in the application itself?
