The Ok button is the one in the "Insert Picture" dialog. The image doesn't appear in the dialog. For .png .bmp etc the image appears and inserts as expected. > Maybe your Qt lacks support for some image types - any way to find out > which flags Qt was compiled with? Apologies for the vague (and as it happens incorrect) bug report. I did a bit of digging and narrowed the symptoms down to those above. I also broadened them a little. JPEG images don't preview in any kde apps. The basic KDE Image Viewer can't open them. Konqueror in full knobs-and-whistles mode doesn't show thumbs. I presume that the reason the image doesn't get inserted here is because the thumbnail doesn't get previewed. JPEGs are displayed fine by applications when they're opened the problem only seems to be in previewing them. libjpeg6b is installed properly and kde has (as far as I can tell) jpeg support built in (how would I find out it didn't other than using ldd which shows a link to libjpeg?). I've also since met someone else on #kde-users who has the same problem. It's an annoyance but it's obviously not life threatening and since there are others who don't have the problem it's obviously an issue with my local installation or configuration. However I'd still like to sort it out :) Do you have any ideas?

Yes compile Qt with JPEG support. -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE Making The Future of Computing Available Today David Faure wrote: > On Tuesday 09 April 2002 17:37 David Neary wrote: > > JPEGs are displayed fine by applications when they're opened the > > problem only seems to be in previewing them. libjpeg6b is > > installed properly and kde has (as far as I can tell) jpeg > > support built in (how would I find out it didn't other than > > using ldd which shows a link to libjpeg?). > > Do you have any ideas? > > Yes compile Qt with JPEG support. Thanks. Although I'm surprised that it's not in there already in a binary package... thanks again for your help Dave. -- David Neary E-Mail: bolsh@gimp.org Tél: 04 91 72 46 84 David Neary wrote: > David Faure wrote: > > On Tuesday 09 April 2002 17:37 David Neary wrote: > > > JPEGs are displayed fine by applications when they're opened the > > > problem only seems to be in previewing them. > > > Do you have any ideas? > > > > Yes compile Qt with JPEG support. > > Thanks.

Can I say that I consider it a bug of sorts that the Insert->Picture function requires an image to be previewable? I would have thought that it would be possible to have an image open properly and have an "Unable to generate preview" type message in the preview widget. I'm sure there are all kinds of resons why this is not possible but it seems to me that it should be.

If the dialog can't load the image the document won't be able to load the image either ... so what good will it do to insert an image that can't be displayed nor printed? -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE Making The Future of Computing Available Today |
