Title: Eog is unable to display multipage TIFF but is the default viewer for TIFF files Status in Eye of GNOME: Confirmed Status in eog package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in eog package in Debian: Fix Released Status in eog package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Binary package hint: eog Eye of gnome, the default image viewer of Ubuntu, open only the first page of a multi page TIFF image, hiding from end user existence of other pages. After a little research I've found the this bug have a long story: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132276 Upstream this bug was not fixed because this feature was implemented in Evince, the generic document viewer used by default also by Ubuntu... but for me, and I think also from all other *end users* this is a non sense because evince in Ubuntu is not associated to open by default TIFF files so *end users* who receives a multi page TIFF doesn't know that this TIFF are multi page because EOG completely hide this information, showing only the first page :( Same consideration are reported also here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385781 I think we need to move forward with a simple and function solution. For example I propose: - make Evince default viewer for TIFF images - make Evince default viewer only for multi page TIFF images (it's possible without adding more and more code?) - adding analogue feature to EOG (maybe using partial code from evince) - EOG should inform in it's gui that this TIFF has more pages and should provide a link to open it Eye of GNOME 2.30.0 Ubuntu Version 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/696766/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
