Bug 17523 – eog-2.2.0 unable to view PNG files.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Mohammed Elzubeir 2003-03-14 14:14:26 UTC]

I tried to unmerge and did
# emerge unmerge eog
# USE="png" emerge eog
Still, unable to view PNG images. I have media-libs/libpng (1.2.5-r1).
I was also able to view PNG images via eog prior to upgrading from GNOME 2.0 to
GNOME 2.2

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load eo
2. Try to open png image

Actual Results:  
"Could not open `file:///path/to/file.png'" dialog box pops up.

Expected Results:  
View the PNG image.

this shouldn't be mine, i'm bumping it to gnome@gentoo, not sure why he put this in the keychain category...

does the file open nicely in another application, such as gqview or the gimp?

does file <file> tell you it is an ok png file?

does eog <filename> work ?
does eog "file:///home/spider/Nautilus-i18nBug.png"  (or eqiv. )  work?


Considering that eog works for me here (version 2.2.1) I'm wondering what is the case here.

and ofcourse, did you have png in USE at the time of compiling eog ?

Nevermind, please close this bug report. I seem to have had to explicitly add the png library (USE="png"?) .. though it seems that this should be the default.

Works fine for me though.
