pgm support not working

[Andcor]

Hi
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and were sad to see that pgm support were not working in qeeqie anymore.
The version of qeeqie I have installed is: 1:1.0-8ubuntu1

It diplays pgms fine for me
Can you please provide more details on what does not work and maybe with an example file including steps to reproduce the issue.

When i supply geeqie with the attached pgm file it just shows me a symbol like the file is broken. However, the file shows just fine in other image editors.

I have found the problem, however have not looked into the source code of geeqie and can therefore not construct a patch file.
It seems that geeqie can only read files with a very specific format:
1. Text: P5
2. newline (hex 0A)
3. comment # something
4. newline(hex 0A)
5. size of image (752 480)
6. newline(hex 0A)
7. largest gray scale value (255)
7. newline (hex 0A)
8. image data

According to http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pgm.html , however, the pgm specification is more specific and need not have a comment and each of the newlines need not be newlines but could in stead be any whitespace character.

thanks for investigating this issue, I forwarded the issue upstream which also appears to be affected

This bug was fixed in the package geeqie - 1:1.1-7
