Multilayer TIFFs only show one layer

this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/279629 "TIFFs generated as multilayer composites with Hugin are not displayed properly in f-spot; only the top layer is displayed, cropped to its dimensions. To reproduce: Load the attached file with "f-spot -v small-test.tif". f-spot only displays the top layer, cropped to its dimensions--the image should be around 500 pixels wide, but it displays as only the width of a single layer. I do not know if multipage TIFFs are stored as multiple layers; if they are, it would be inappropriate to display them as one big image. However, if the layers are all painted on the same canvas, as these are, they should be displayed as one large image. The layers are visible when checked with ImageMagick, and they display properly-overlapped in Gimp. $ identify small-test.tif small-test.tif[1] TIFF 107x165 107x165+393+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[2] TIFF 114x165 114x165+310+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[3] TIFF 104x165 104x165+248+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[4] TIFF 114x165 114x165+186+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[5] TIFF 114x165 114x165+124+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[6] TIFF 114x155 114x155+31+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb small-test.tif[7] TIFF 83x165 83x165+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 389.596kb" test image: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18292176/small-test.tif
f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
