The same thing appears in Showfoto but the thumbnail is visible.

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.

Comment 4 Pierre Lepage 2007-12-30 01:04:54 UTC 
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

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

Now, I use digikam 0.10 under KDE4. Since my first bug report, I don't
experiment a similar problem again.
