The error message (in french) is "Impossible de créer l'aperçu pour (file name here)". The same thing appears in Showfoto but the thumbnail is visible.
Created attachment 22606 [details] Sample of a tiff file generated from XSane v 0.994 This is a sample image file that cause digikam error message.
there is no crash here. Gilles Caulier
Marcel, this tiff file is compressed used JPEG codec. I think we don't have include this case in DImg::TiffLoader. Right ? Here gimp and imagemagick can open the tiff file. Gilles
If this new informations can help you. Digikam can load B&W tiff file with JPEG codec but not color one. Also, if in XSane preferences, I choose "pack bits" as 8 bits compression option for color picture scanned as a tiff file, Digikam can read and show the picture. Well, I scanned a lot of color pictures with JPEG codec and saved as tiff files. So, it will be nice a solution will be found in Digikam. Thanks
Pierre, The problem still valid with 0.9.3 ? Gilles Caulier
Gilles, I solved the problem by converting all pictures with a batch process. Today, I have just completed the compilation of version 0.9.4. I will do a try with the "problematic" TIFF format as soon as possible. I forgot to give it a try with version 0.9.3
Pierre, What's news about this file ? It still valid using digiKam 0.9.4 ? Gilles Caulier
