[rt-users] Display tiff-attachments
Hello List, we're using RT 3.8.2. Is there any chance to display (a preview of) tiff-attachments? It works fine with .png, .jpg, etc... so it would be nice to see support for .tiff, too.

I suppose it should be possible to internally convert the TIFF to a browser-supported image type in a temp file and send that to the browser as a preview, but image conversion is very CPU expensive. You're better off just storing it as an image type that web browsers can display in the first place. -- Tom Lahti BIT Statement LLC http://www.bitstatement.net/ -- ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

Hello. You can get plugins that display TIFFs (http://www.alternatiff.com/ looks like it works in IE as well as Firefox, Opera, and Chrome) but I agree with Thomas' approach. -- Cassandra Phillips-Sears Office Manager Best Practical Solutions, LLC http://www.bestpractical.com On Feb 20, 2009, at 12:17 PM 2/20/09, Tom Lahti wrote: Knaupp, Thomas wrote: Hello List, we're using RT 3.8.2.

// I don't know of any web browsers that display TIFF images... Safari and Konqueror do, and a bunch of less significant ones. Still, it's almost certainly a better use of your time to convert the images into something with broader browser support. ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
