Bug ID: 98869
Summary: We only support a subset of Pict/PCT files - worth
keeping?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Based on the inconsistent file format, we can't import many of the pict files
I've found. I think this makes it not worth having pict support in LibreOffice
as odds are you'll be able to open maybe half of the pictures your run into.
http://www.fileformat.info/format/macpict/sample/index.htm Only Marbles can be
opened. The others can't.
http://cd.textfiles.com/cdreview/cdreview66/PCT01_01/PC0101P- Can't open with
or without our ipict filter (tested 10 at random)
http://cd.textfiles.com/fantaziasampler/CLIPART/PCT/ We can open these (tested
5 at random)
Testing was done on LO5.1 build in 16.04.
Also nice blurb "Though it is a vector format, it is often used as if it were a
raster format. Many files contain just a single bitmap image.
PICT format is complicated and quirky. Although plenty of documentation about
it exists, there does not appear to be any single source that provides a
reasonably clear and complete specification."
- Found Pict/pct files (above blurb) from
