Bug ID: 15288 Summary: Change image loading backend from GdkPixbuf to abydos Classification: Apps Product: Ristretto Version: master Hardware: Other OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Medium Component: Application Assignee: xfce-bugs@xfce.org Reporter: magnus.berg...@snisurset.net Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 8406 --> https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=8406&action=edit The patch This post would be better suited for some development discussion forum, but I din't find any (please redirect me if there is one). Anyway, this relates to bug 10719 and possibly bug 10499. Unlike GdkPixbuf, abydos handles multi page images (TIFF, DjVu and PDF) and can render vector graphics (SVG, PDF and WMF) directly with cairo, not just create a bitmap version. Apart from that it has an easier API, especially for animation (my first attempt at a patch removes more lines than it adds). It handles more modern image formats like HEIF and WebP and a whole bunch of older ones, including those dropped by GdkPixbuf (but some can't be handled out of the box since they're not in the shared MIME database and won't be recognized as images to begin with). It also supports animated PNG (so called APNG) and some other things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list Xfce-bugs@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
