--- Comment #4 from osnola <[email protected]> --- Hello, (In reply to Bryan Quigley from comment #0) > http://www.fileformat.info/format/macpict/sample/index.htm Only Marbles can > be opened. The others can't. > These pictures seem odd to me, i.e. there are ApplePict 2.0 with subversion 0. However the Inside Macintosh documentation only speaks of ApplePict 2.0 with subversion 1 or 2, which may indicate that either these pictures are invalid or there are done with some internal Apple's version of Quickdraw. ( so actually LibreOffice does not recognize the header of these pictures, but if we find other such pictures, it is probably possible to update the filter to read them ). > http://cd.textfiles.com/cdreview/cdreview66/PCT01_01/PC0101P- Can't open > with or without our ipict filter (tested 10 at random) > I try to open 4 or 5 at random on OSX with LibreOffice 5.1.0.3 and it opens them. ( so I do not know, maybe this is related to a bug when reading bitmaps which was corrected some months ago or a bug which does not appear on OSX ) > 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.

This is probably also true with files created on Mac OSX with a Carbon Application while files created with a Cocoa Application may contain almost no pct pictures... Note: - as libmwaw now contains a filter for .pct pictures (which is less tested ), a possibility may to be to remove to ipict LibreOffice filter and use the libmwaw filter to read all .pct pictures... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
