Description Axel Braun 2005-03-30 20:57:12 UTC
Version:           3.3.6 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" , unofficial build of SUSE )
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.147-default

kfax is called out of an application called kmsgmodem to display recevied faxes. kfax indicates a fax in g-3 format, normal resolution, width 864, height 1100.
When I save the fax as anything.g3 and reopen it, the scaling is gone lost: kfax displays width 864 and heigth 550, which results in a 'stuffed' fax.
Comment 1 Axel Braun 2006-02-20 17:50:33 UTC
seems that this is still in the KDE 3.5.1-build
Bernd, do you need more information on this?
Comment 2 Helge Deller 2006-03-21 08:48:06 UTC
can you mail me your testfax to deller@kde.org ?
Comment 3 Axel Braun 2006-03-23 10:05:38 UTC
Helge,
I've attached 3 files: fax-1 is the ones that comes out of the kmessagemodem (i picked it out of the /tmp/kde..... directory), the other ones are the saved fax.
fax-1 is displayed properly, as resolution in the bottom bar of kfax it says 'normal'.
When I save it as fax-1-saved.g3, it cant open it afterwards (not a valid tiff file).
When I save it as fax-1-saved-tiff.tiff, it is crunched ('gestaucht'), and I cant resize. the result of the printed fax is as well stuffed.
Current settings are auto-resolition, width is also auto.
One more: on the file originally received, the bxh is 864/1183, on the saved it is  864/569!

Hello Axel,

I think you did something wrong while uploading. Those files are all the same. Could you please check ?
-rw-r--r--  1 73192 2006-03-29 22:13 fax1
-rw-r--r--  1 73192 2006-03-29 22:13 fax2
-rw-r--r--  1 73192 2006-03-29 22:13 fax3

I get an error message when trying to open the attachments (konqueror & firefox) type application/octet-stream, save as sttachment.cgi

original file received from kmessagemodem

Hi Helge,
lets try to restart this case. 
The attachment is the file received from kmessagemodem. This application just
calls kfax:
...
	for(int i = 1; i <= Pages; i++)
	{
		QString faxarg(FileBase::Self()->MsgDirName);
		faxarg += "fax-%1";
		arguments += faxarg.arg(i);
	}
	
	int rc = KApplication::kdeinitExecWait("kfax", arguments);

Doing so, the fax is displayed properly. Nevertheless, If I open the file later
as from the saved attachment, it is improperly sized (as described earlier).

Beside this, there seems to be a problem in saving faxes (saved as g3 cant be
opened). Shall we track this in a separate issue?

Regards
Axel
