Description Andrey Cherepanov 2004-11-10 14:10:03 UTC 
Version:           0.44 (using KDE 3.3.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26-01-NeTraverse-i686-SMP-64GB

Kooka, Kuickshow, TIFF thumbnail show all TIFF with JPEG compression (grayed fax) as solid black background. This files are shown in Imaging (both MSOffice 2003 and Kodak) without any problem.

Test TIFF with JPEG compression (grayed)

This is example test TIFF with JPEG compression (grayed)
Thumbnal shows black solid rectangle.

The sample TIFF file uses old-style type 6 JPEG compression, which is a big problem area and is no longer supported (except by Microsoft).  It may be possible to read the image by recompiling libtiff, but that is not a KDE problem.  See http://www.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-users/2002-December/006799.html for a possible fix.

This is not a problem specific to Kooka.
Reassigning to kdelibs, they will probably close with WONTFIX.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2011-07-26 14:05:19 UTC 
Right, if libtiff doesn't read the file, KDE cannot.
