Add wbmp to supported image types
Last modified: 2007-08-13 08:59:05 UTC
This is Debian bug 270595 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270595 Can wbmp be added as a supported image? EOG already seems to support this format, and the MIME type was recently added to shared-mime-info*. Some sample images are available here, http://www.todoso.co.uk/wbmp/index.htm * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9186

I couldn't find any wbmp image in the link you provided. All the images in that page are simple gif files. Could you attach to this bug a wbmp image to make sure EOG can open that format? Thanks.

Although it's correct and works it would make us depend on shared-mime-info-0.20+. Unfortunately the current "global" minimally required version for the GNOME Desktop is 0.19 (see http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies). So I guess we have to ask for a raising of that dep first. We then should additionally check for it in configure as we get some strange behavior (missing thumbnails, crashes in eog-ng) if s-m-i is not recent enough.
I think the s-m-i version raising was propossed somewhere in d-d-l. Updating version in the meantime.
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNineteen/ExternalDependencies lists 0.22 as the minimum s-m-i version for 2.20. So I committed the patch to trunk and made sure that s-m-i is recent enough (0.20+). 2007-08-13 Felix Riemann <> * configure.ac: Make sure s-m-i >= 0.20 is installed. * data/eog.desktop.in.in: Add WBMP to supported filetypes. Fixes bug #408591 (Sven Arvidsson). ---- This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report and patch.
