okular_kimgio_tiff.patch
The attached patch removes tiff support from kimgio and stops the annoying selection popup. Hi - thank you for submitting a patch! Since patches attached to Bugzilla tickets tend to get missed and become stale over time, could I ask you to please submit it as a merge request using GitLab instead? The Okular GitLab repository is located at https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular , and the KDE Community Wiki guide to using it is located at https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/GitLab this is not a bug, if you don't want the backend selection dialog, disable it in the settings (In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #4) > this is not a bug, if you don't want the backend selection dialog, disable > it in the settings Can you advice where the settings to disable the backend selection dialog and force the selection of okular_tiff for MIME type TIFF image (image/tiff)?

I will submit the patch to GitLab. That's not the only place where it causes a bit of confusion though. |
