This problem results from the dichotomy of display of different types of tiff images between eye of gnome and evince. Many businesses have large collections of scanned documents in tiff multi-page fax format, but the default action in fedora for display of tiff images is eye of gnome which currently can only display the first page of such images, which seems to be a shortcoming in it. Evince can display multi-page tiff, so you might say to change the default program to display tiff to evince? Well that is possible, but then all tiff files including colour images are displayed with evince. Nautilus lets you choose the program to display tiff files with but other programs (eg thunderbird email) don't. If you choose evince as default viewer, the characteristics of evince aren't always really ideal for display of all images and eye of gnome is suited better to displaying some images. How can this issue be dealt with? Can eye of gnome be made configurable to exec another program eg evince when invoked with multi-page tiff files??? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.20.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double click a multi-page tiff scan 2. Notice that eye of gnome cannot reproduce it Actual results: Inability to display the remainder of the image Expected results: Ability to display the full image Additional info: Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/696766/comments/0 On 2008-11-26T08:28:20+00:00 Bug wrote: This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

You could certainly write a small script or program that looks at the tiff in question, and runs evince if it is multi-page, and eog otherwise. You can then register that script as the default handler for all tiffs.

It seems to me that the default behaviour should really be that the software that opens tiff files can display all types of tiff files. Presently there's a dichotomy between evince and eye of gnome where one has to be used to open some and the other has to be used to open others. I understand the two programs, but the end result is bad from a user perspective. Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/696766/comments/3 On

[Bug 696766] Re: Eog is unable to display multipage TIFF but is the default viewer for TIFF files
I accept the decision of the debian developer to not implement this feature in EOG because multipage tiff support is already implemented in EVINCE, but I disagree with you for closing this bug. This bug is related to Ubuntu and incorrect handling of multipage TIFF. Clicking on a TIFF image *under Ubuntu* will open EOG not EVINCE, so normal users, not hacker, not only aren't able to see all page of TIFF but also doesn't get informed in any way that this image have more than one page :( And how this normal user will find that EVINCE is the right application for open multi TIFF images? Guessing? I think that Ubuntu have to associate EVINCE as default viewer for TIFF images. And also I think that this bug should be reopened.
