Version: 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1 (using KDE 4.3.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Hi, when opening a multi-page tiff, which is generated by most scanners/scanning software (you can construct a multi-tiff from single-tiffs with tiffcp and disassemble with tiffsplit), okular displays only the first page. Since okular is a document viewer and should support tiff, I'd rather consider this as a bug than as a wish. regards
Did you actually install the distro package providing the TIFF backend?
That's a pretty good hint, that was the problem. Thanks. okular is able to read a tiff even without that package, so it is not obvious that there is something missing. Even installing that package does not help immediately, okular still reads /usr/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_kimgio.so on one of my computers, but then it worked on my other computer where I installed the package before starting okular for the first time. Seems as if okular would not recognize the tiff backend without a complete restart of the Desktop.

Or, if you have a 2.6.31 or 2.6.32 Linux kernel, KDE's file change notification system does not cope to its behaviour change. Manually running `kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental` will do the job, in any case.
