Description Fabian Müller 2006-02-26 16:42:30 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-2 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.4

Doubleclicking some image in digikam opens up the image viewer, but this only shows a black area. The picture has size 0x0 according to the lower right info-panel of the viewer (but thats not true!). An earlier post had an error with imlib2 or imlib2_loaders, so i tried to view the pictures with 'feh' as suggested there, which worked.
The reason might be, that digikam assumes the picures to be in RAW-format and cannot decode them.
I attach the console-output:

>>> snip >>>

KIPI (loading): KIPI::PluginLoader: Loaded plugin RawConverter
digikam: WARNING: Running dcraw command : dcraw -c -2 -w -a -q 0 '/directory/img_0408.jpg'
/directory/img_0408.jpg: Cannot decode Canon PowerShot A520 JPEG images.
digikam: WARNING: Not a raw digital camera image.

digikam: WARNING: Not a raw digital camera image.

<<< snap <<<

What's up? Why doesn't digikam just decode this as jpg-image if it obviously knows that it is not in RAW-format?

Strange behaviour.

Paco, 

you want mean this problem is relevant of an incompatibility between multiple libdigikam.la installed ? Are you already reproduce this problem ? (because i have never reproduce it on my computers).

Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2006-07-18 09:59:28 UTC
Please check your system and install form sctrach the new digiKam 0.8.2 using these tarballs :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/0.8.2/

Check if you have older digikam package installed on your system. remove old libdigikam.la before to install a new digiKam release on your computer, and give us a feedback

I had this same bug with digikam 0.8.2 on Suse 10.1. I found that libdigikam.la had not even been accessed after I had tried to view several images with digikam and saw the black screen with the 0 pixel size info. The problem is solved by installing imlib2-loaders.  
Comment 11 julian hughes 2006-10-27 16:19:54 UTC
p.s. using Smart package manager I can see that imlib2-loaders describes itself (it seems correctly) as required by digikam, but digikam does not list imlib2-loaders as a requirement. 
Comment 12 William Curry 2006-11-14 22:32:55 UTC
This problem just began for me today, after using digikam for several months with no problems. Now, although the album viewer still displays the thumbnails, even those of newly imported files, the image editor shows "0x0" pixels and a black screen. Running 0.8.2(KDE 3.5.5 39.1) just updated today trying to fix this..with
Kipi lib 0.1.4. the imlib2_loaders/image .so files all show 11-08-2006 dates (probably installed with KDE 3.5.5 today??) usr.lib/im2lib is an empty dir.
Comment 13 caulier.gilles 2006-11-14 22:35:41 UTC
The problem is relevant of imlib2 loaders witch are used by digiKam 0.8.x to load images data in editor. Fix imlib2 loader and you will fix this problem.

Note : digiKam 0.9.0 do not use imlib2 anymore.

Comment 14 caulier.gilles 2006-12-11 15:38:27 UTC
digiKam 0.9.0 don't use imlib2 library anymore to load/save JPEG file.

I close this file now.
