I am quite sure that I once opened gimp files with gwenview on my Pi, after reinstalling recently I get an error message though.

Loading ‘Untitled.xcf’ failed
Gwenview cannot display documents of type image/x-xcf

I guess I am missing some packages, but I have no clue which ones.
What would I need to install manually on a Pi to make gwenview open xcf files?

system is:

Code: Select all

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"


gvenview is

Code: Select all

 version (4:20.12.3-2).

gimp is

Code: Select all

version (2.10.22-4)

I believe it has to do with the gimp's new compression format. Try this. In gimp>savefile>bottom of the save window uncheck that new format thingie..https://imgur.com/a/1TgoaHR

Then gwenview, okular, qimgv and others will be able to open it.

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Actually, I am aware of the problems with 2.10 and already tried saving in "Legacy Mode".
So this should not be the cause. Moreover, the 2.10 standard is opened without issue on Suse.

Cheers

Kubuntu. Unless in legacy I can't open them. Haven't tried flatpaks yet.

Yes, I can confirm this issue on my Lubuntu laptop (18.04.).
But even in "Legacy" it does not work on the Pi.
Cheers
