Version: 3.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.9) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs A PGM image with 16bit depth is not displayed/decoded correctly. The images header is P5 156 440 65535 <lots of data follows> Steps to reproduce: 1. use `convert` to to convert a color image to gray scale pgm: $ convert test.png -colorspace Gray test.pgm 2. confirm that it has 16bit depth: open test.pgm in an editor, the 3rd line should contain 65535 3. open test.pgm with kview Expected result: the original image in gray scale Actual result: somewhat distorted version of the image If one converts the original image to an *8bit* gray scale pgm, e.g. with $ convert test.png -colorspace Gray -depth 8 test.pgm kview can display the resulting pgm image correctly.

Kview is no more mantained/developed. This bug wish will not be fixed until a new developer will work on it. Moreover this product is not ported to KDE4. On KDE4 it has been replaced by gwenview. I'm closing this bug as "unmantained". I'm sorry. I suggest you to try KDE 4 :-)
