Pro formats

[Charles Flèche]

Hello everyone,

/I can't find info about this one : is there a way to open pro file formats (SGI
8/16 bits, Cineon, DPX 8/10/12/16 bits...) in gwenview ? I think Exr are
already supported, but what about others file formats ? A colleague of mine
used to be able to open SGI under KDE 3.5 : is it a matter of KIO modules ?

I'm trying to push gwenview as our image browser as it is free software and
better integrated with Kde than Picasa or XNview, but not being able to open
pro formats would be a show stopper.

Thank you very much !

Hi Charles,

Gwenview supports all formats supported by Qt and KDE. On my machine the
following formats are supported:

Qt:
- gif
- ico
- jpeg
- mng
- svg
- tiff

KDE:
- dds
- eps
- exr
- jpeg2000
- pcx
- psd
- rgb (sgi)
- tga
- xcf
- xview

I created this list by listing .so files in
/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/imageformats and /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/imageformats.

You can write Qt image format plugins to add support for more formats.
Creating a new plugin does not require modifying Gwenview and benefits
all Qt/KDE applications. Note however that Qt cannot represents images
which uses more than 8 bits per channel: even if the plugin can decode
images with more depth, it will have to reduce it to 8 bits per channel.

What kde4 packages should I install to get jpeg2000 / sgi / psd capabilities ?

I think jasper is used for jpeg2000. I am not sure about the others.

On my Ubuntu machine these image plugins are all part of the kdelibs5
package. The files you are looking for are named kimg_jp2.so,
kimg_rgb.so and kimg_psd.so.
