Hello, Thank you for your answer.
I am investigateing why my borswer cannot display tiff picture. It maybe related with my browser. AT the same time, I do not undertsand the following status about picture upload. If I upload a jpg picture, i.e. cat6.jpg, I find the files below after uploading successfully, find / -name cat6* /data/var/data/files/g0/158/cat6.jpg;1 /data/var/data/files/g0/158/cat6.gif;icon;1 /data/var/data/files/g0/158/cat6.gif;icon-700;1 If I upload a tiff picture, i.e. test-tif.tif, I find the files below, find / -name test-tif* /data/var/data/files/g0/170/test-tif.tif;1 I do not understand why there are 3 files(cat6.jpg;1, cat6.gif.icon;1,cat6.gif;icon-700;1) under "/data/var/data/files/g0/158/". Why there is the only file under /data/var/data/files/g0/170/test-tif.tif;1 ? If I understood correctly, cat6.jpg;1 is the original picture, cat6.gif.icon;1 is a small gif picture converted by invenio for dipalsying in websearch list. cat6.gif;icon-700;1 is for what ? I thought that the file "/data/var/data/files/g0/170/test-tif.tif;1" is the original tif picture. Is a small picture coverted by invenio needed for showing in invenio websearch ? THanks a lot, Regards, Lanxin ________________________________________ From: Samuele Kaplun Sent: 17 January 2013 09:28 To: Alexander Wagner Cc: Lanxin Ma; project-invenio-general (Invenio users) Subject: Re: .tif .tiff pictures Hi!

On Linux tiff files can be opened by any viewer, once the file is actually downloaded. Have you tried saving the .tiff file first somewhere and then open it with a viewer? I just checked: .tiff files are correctly served by Invenio with the image/tiff mimetype. So it's actually up to Internet Explorer to open them correctly. There is not much that Invenio can do in that sense. I guess you should rather address this specific question to the AlternaTIFF support, since they claim you should be able to view .tiff files in IE, having their plugin installed. Maybe you have not authorized the ActiveX control? <http://www.alternatiff.com/faq.html#ie> Cheers, Samuele -- Samuele Kaplun Invenio Developer ** <http://invenio-software.org/>
