It's also wrong. I looked over it once again and noticed too many mistakes. In my opinion it should be reverted for now until there is a working fix for that issue. In the meanwhile I've also found some ics images in the libics source package. There is test/testim_c.ics and the corresponding .ids file. The thing is that I can't even open the file with the imview version from wheezy. With the patch imview fails differenctly but still doesn't display the image. So instead of fixing the ICS support I'd just drop it and if there is real interest in imview and the capability to read ICS files, the code should be rewritten to use libics instead. But that's clearly something for jessie. I'm sorry for this horrible patch. Regards -- Sebastian Ramacher
