Description Bastian Frank 2005-12-28 12:04:42 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I found that all images saved with Kooka (at least JPEG and PNG) miss the resolution information at which they were scanned. This is very annoying when trying to print an image at a later time when the original resolution is not known any more.

Both formats are able to hold this information, in PNG the "pHYs"-Block (http://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/#11pHYs) explicitly allows to set the correct resolution for the picture.

It seems that other applications in KDE also lack support for these resolution fields in images, as even pictures with correctly set resolution fields print at 72 dpi. (I tested this with CorelDraw, which reads, writes and uses this information correctly.)

There are several other bug reports with similar, but not equal, wishes; so this might be a very useful feature.

Comment 1 Gilles Schintgen 2006-04-09 12:25:41 UTC

The Gimp complains about wrong resolution info in files created by Kooka. "Resolution out of bounds"

Hey, I think this is the same bug here:
