GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 653247
Don't show TIFF documents inline
Last modified: 2011-06-30 15:17:10 UTC
When users receive multi-page TIFF documents in Evolution, it allows you to view the document Inline...however when doing so it only displays the first page and in no way indicates that more pages might exist. Evolution should either: 1) Display all pages -or- 2) Make no attempt to display Inline and require them to use an external reader.
Can you attach a sample? We rely on GdkPixbuf to handle image formats, so I'm wondering if GDK's TIFF backend is programmed to only render the first page. Just a wild guess. Perhaps the page count is embedded as GdkPixbuf metadata such that we could check it before showing the first page inline.
I think my guess was correct, see bug 335959. Our hands are kinda tied until that's fixed.
Created attachment 191022 [details] [review] Trivial patch Easy enough to fix, but I'd still like a sample multi-page TIFF image so I can reproduce the issue and verify that other apps can handle it correctly.

Perfect, thanks! Looks like Evince and Gimp can handle them correctly. Fixed for Evolution 3.1.3 and 3.0.3: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=75ec784e5d33162a675bb2721f4bafae0a0b7227 http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?h=gnome-3-0&id=d4b1b564e33c0166fcf13be580f9be6174658a4a
