Whatever generates the files provided as examples is not file-typing them as TIFF files. The file signature http://www.garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html AKA 'magic file number' is decimal 8508, hex 0x213c which is not correct for TIFF. Therefore, Evince doesn't know what to do with them. You may wish to contact the folks whose program generates the TIFF files to ask them for help with this specific issue. Until then, Stack Overflow has a post regarding Python errors (yeah, not generated with Python) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/514371/whats-the-bad-magic-number-errorwhich explains how to alter the Magic File Number. There are multiple Linux hex file editors available through Synaptic Package Manager, such as ghex and lfhex for GNOME, hexcurse and dhex for ncurses, among many others. -- 73s/Best regards de John Bartley K7AAY CN85qj •|||||||• "By reading this message, you agree to the NSA terms of service." > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
