Public bug reported: Binary package hint: eog
Eye of gnome, the default image viewer of Ubuntu, open only the first page of a multi page TIFF image, hiding from end user existence of other pages. After a little research I've found the this bug have a long story: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132276 Upstream this bug was not fixed because this feature was implemented in Evince, the generic document viewer used by default also by Ubuntu... but for me, and I think also from all other *end users* this is a non sense because evince in Ubuntu is not associated to open by default TIFF files so *end users* who receives a multi page TIFF doesn't know that this TIFF are multi page because EOG completely hide this information, showing only the first page :( Same consideration are reported also here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385781 I think we need to move forward with a simple and function solution. For example I propose: - make Evince default viewer for TIFF images - make Evince default viewer only for multi page TIFF images (it's possible without adding more and more code?) - adding analogue feature to EOG (maybe using partial code from evince) - EOG should inform in it's gui that this TIFF has more pages and should provide a link to open it Eye of GNOME 2.30.0 Ubuntu Version 10.04 ** Affects: eog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to eog in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696766 Title: Eog is unable to display multipage TIFF but is the default viewer for TIFF files -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
