Description Allan Sandfeld 2007-11-28 10:01:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.96.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

KHTML in KDE 4 no longer supports QImageIO plugins for images. This means all imageformats besides GIF, PNG and JPEG are left unsupported. 

This is a regression from KDE 3. Seriousness is unknown since few websites use these formats, but they could be used by KDE applications.

Early patch

This early patch fixes many simple cases. It still has several issues: 
1. It doesn't append the supported mimetypes 
2. It doesn't support some QImage formats right
3. notifyQImage() should also replace notifyAppendFrame() in this case
4. Animated formats is still unsupported

Any news on this? Do you know if this is already implemented in current 4.2 trunk ?

SVN commit 956243 by carewolf:

Add support for a number of QImageIO file-types. This support was lost 
from 3.5 to 4.2

This new implementation uses a positive list to avoid any 
potentially unsafe plugins. The positive list currently contains: BMP, 
TIFF, PNM, JPEG-2000 and EXR
