I have emerged cinepaint, gimp, hugin, KPhotoAlbum, Krita and ufraw (for starters). Things work pretty well EXCEPT that the KDE based applications cannot handle *.tif files. I have the media-libs/tiff package emerged, but for some reason the KDE subsystem does not seem to be using it. What doesn't even list .tif files as graphics files: KView What doesn't work with .tif files: krita preview in File>Open dialog KPhotoAlbum does not show .tif files gimp lists the files, but puts up an error message when it attempts to open the file KView What does work with .tif files: Krita will open them (just not preview them) hugin cinepaint (not KDE based) If I tell konqueror to open a .tif file with KView, the KView status bar says "Unknown image format: /"...."/A00001658.1.tif" If I tell konqueror to open a .tif file with GIMP, I get two GIMP Messages: PDB calling error: Procedure 'file-tiff-load' not found. Opening '/.../A00001658.1.tif' failed: raw image plug-in could not open image I have run emerge --update --deep --newuse world revdep-rebuild with no improvement Any insight into what I need to do to get this working will be greatly appreciated. Please be explicit (or include links to documentation) if I have to do anything unusual, but I will be glad to send any needed information to help you diagnose my problem. Ted Miller Indiana, USA
