GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 345520
EOG does not show multiple-paged TIF images
Last modified: 2021-06-19 08:47:14 UTC
The TIF specification offers support for multiple pages within the same document. Some applications like Hylafax support TIFs with multiple pages: a fax of 5 pages is saved as a single TIF file which contains 5 pages, one for each fax page. GIMP loads them fine and shows each page as a layer. Since EOG is the default application for opening the TIF images under GNOME, it would be nice if it fully supported TIFs. Thank you.

Note that TIFF files containing multiple images can also be multi-layered images; in this case, all layers should display simultaneously, moved to their proper layer offsets. See Bug 345883 for a sample TIFF file of this type.
As this is broken behaviour, is there not a case for raising severity? See http://static.wayforth.co.uk/20060710164155.tif for an example of the type of file that exhibits problems. NB It displays and prints properly in evince.

Created attachment 136447 [details] multipage tiff, in fax standard
I confirm this behaviour. I attached an example.
This requires support for such images in gdk-pixbuf's TIFF loader. Adding dependency.
I can confirm the problem

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
