I don't see any displaying of images as text, but I certainly see some really serious re-layouting problems, similar to bug 48140 There's something really weird going on with KHC and external links, perhaps the answer is to simply open them in Konqueror (as suggested in bug 53162 ) Could you check please if you're still seeing this png-as-text problem? And can you view the same page in Konqueror correctly? No reply for some time, and nobody could reproduce. I think this was some isolated weirdness on the reporters system. Closing, please reopen if you can indeed reproduce it. Sorry, I'll have to reopen. It still happens with CVS crom April 8th. I'll give you a concrete example: - Call kmail help page. - Go to the configuration (chapter 4) / Security / OpenPGP page. - At the bottom click on " Confirmed. This is due to the incomplete MIME type handling in KHelpcenter. It doesn't detect the pngs as non-HTML and feeds it to the KHTML view.

Then how about just spawning Kinqueror on external links? Then you have
a whole browser to use and don't miss bookmarks etc. as well.
Imho KHelpcenter should always spawn an external application when accessing an external resource and even tell the user that it will do so. It can't be in our interest that the difference between (secure) local help file and (unsecure) external data of any kind is hidden from the user. Avoid the problem entirely by opening http url's in Konqueror Subject: Re: khelpcenter displays PNG images (all images?) as text (hex dump)

What about avoiding the problem by opening *all* non-file:/ URLs in
Konqueror? Sooner or later somebody will use ftp, sftp or fish URLs in
the help center, and we'll have the same basic problem.
Subject: Re: khelpcenter displays PNG images (all images?) as text (hex dump) It's not a problem of the protocol, but of the mime type of the file. An HTML file on an FTP server can perfectly be shown in KHelpcenter, but a PNG can't, even locally. |
