Talking about beta versions: "vm-8.2.0b", too, is quite old (almost two years now), and it would perhaps be a good idea to be more current with both products, XEmacs and "vm". XEmacs is available as a Mercurial re- pository, which is fine with me, because I have Mercurial installed on my computer and am using it a lot myself. I do neither use Bazaar nor have it installed, but Mercurial can convert a remote Bazaar repos- itory, provided it can access it. However, the URL https://code.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/trunk does not return anything, even if I prefix the "code.launchpad.net" part with my launchpad account and password. Is there a publicly available URL I coud use? > ... > If vm-mime-thumbnail-max-geometry is non-nil, VM assumes that you want > thumbnails. > ... > The solution is to disable thumbnail generation. I wouldn't call it a "solution" but a "workaround". A "solution" would recognize by itself that for whatever reason thumbnail generation failed and would then insert the paper clip instead. But looking at the code and at what "vm-mime-thumbnail-max-geometry" does I agree with you that setting this configuration variable to nil is a way cleaner workaround than the patch proposed by me. So I'll go with your suggestion here. > This is not worthy of patching VM because there is nothing wrong with the VM > code. The problem is with your environment. Yes and no. The cause may well be with my environment, but the way "vm" handles this should clearly be improved. Particularly because this clearly wasn't just my environment, else Google wouldn't have turned up other people suffering the same problem. Anyway, thanks for your time :-) Sincerely Rainer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Rainer M Woitok | Phone : (+49 60 93) 487 95 95 | | Kolpingstraße 3 | Mobile: (+49 172) 813 6 831 | | D-63846 Laufach | Mail : [email protected] | | Germany | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
