I am new to Gentoo (not new to Linux), and am trying to do a Gentoo |
| 2 |
install to handle my photo needs. I have emerged cinepaint, gimp, |
| 3 |
hugin, KPhotoAlbum, Krita and ufraw (for starters). |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Things work pretty well EXCEPT that the KDE based applications cannot |
| 6 |
handle *.tif files. I have the media-libs/tiff package emerged, but for |
| 7 |
some reason the KDE subsystem does not seem to be using it. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
What doesn't even list .tif files as graphics files: |
| 10 |
KView |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What doesn't work with .tif files: |
| 13 |
krita preview in File>Open dialog |
| 14 |
KPhotoAlbum does not show .tif files |
| 15 |
gimp lists the files, but puts up an error message when it attempts to |
| 16 |
open the file |
| 17 |
KView |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
What does work with .tif files: |
| 20 |
Krita will open them (just not preview them) |
| 21 |
hugin |
| 22 |
cinepaint (not KDE based) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If I tell konqueror to open a .tif file with KView, the KView status bar |
| 26 |
says "Unknown image format: /"...."/A00001658.1.tif" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If I tell konqueror to open a .tif file with GIMP, I get two GIMP Messages: |
| 29 |
PDB calling error: Procedure 'file-tiff-load' not found. |
| 30 |
Opening '/.../A00001658.1.tif' failed: raw image plug-in could not open |
| 31 |
image |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I have run |
| 34 |
emerge --update --deep --newuse world |
| 35 |
revdep-rebuild |
| 36 |
with no improvement |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Any insight into what I need to do to get this working will be greatly |
| 39 |
appreciated. Please be explicit (or include links to documentation) if |
| 40 |
I have to do anything unusual, but I will be glad to send any needed |
| 41 |
information to help you diagnose my problem. |
