Jpegs can't be used as backgrounds in MacOS

[wezlo]

I went to create a theme in 1.9.3 on my macbook and the only images that were able to be used were png's. Jpegs were greyed out, and when I toggled the selection tool to "all images" Jpegs returned an error.

[Tim Bentley (trb143)]

Can we have more information on the error please.
Stack trace etc.

[Raoul Snyman (raoul-snyman)]

The correct Qt codec file needs to be found and included in the OS X build.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

With the default build process for 1.9.4 it worked out-of-the-box on the 10.5.8 development box for me. Will test it on two other systems (clean 10.5.8 and 10.6.5).

[Raoul Snyman (raoul-snyman)]

Yes, this is probably because the bundled Qt in the .app can see the Qt.framework's codec.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

JPEG library is already bundled with 1.9.4, need to be verified in the final build.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

build on 10.6 works, jpeg still doesn't work on 10.5, even though there is the libqjpeg in the imageformats directory and bundled within qt4_plugins.

[Jonathan Corwin (j-corwin)]

Is this something that can be fixed in 10.5? If so, how likely before next week or should we bump to 1.9.6?

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

It is just a packaging problem (I guess), which I have some time next weekend to look into. The bad thing is that I cannot ensure that this will be fixed, because I don't know the root cause of the problem yet :-(

[Aaron Rathjen (aaron-x)]

I can confirm this bug in builds 1588, 1549, and 1421 on my system, which is 10.6.7.

I cannot use jpegs in either the themes or in the image plugin.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

Yes I finally found out the reason for that, as we are packaging a lot with the application, but only for the i386 architecture and it seems that we need to package it also for the 64bit for Snow Leopard. I will set up a development system for compiling universal binaries on a Snow Leopard system. That's the plan for Saturday :-) (I hope that you are able to enjoy JPEGs on Snow Leopard then on the next weekly build if all goes well...)

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

Yep, that was the reason, JPEG as background images are working now on Snow Leopard, will be out for testing with the next build

[wezlo (revwez)]

1.9.6 build on Snow Leopard still doesn't allow for jpegs to be used...

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

@wezlo sorry yes, currently there is only the Leopard build available, the packaging of the Snow Leopard version did not pass testing yet.. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will update this bug here after we published the final package.

[wezlo (revwez)]

Gotcha, looking forward to it!

Re open the bug, so that it is visible on the list again. See also http://support.openlp.org/issues/213

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

Hm... not sure if I accidenlty set the milestone to none or if it was launchpad... :-)

[matysek (mzibricky)]

This issue is caused by a bug in pyinstaller: http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/373

Jpeg images should work correctly with builds created by latest pyinstaller svn version.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

matysek, that looks very good! wezlo can you try the latest build from http://www.matthiashub.de/tmp/openlp/OpenLP-1.9.6-bzr1684.dmg (this won't work on 10.5 though)

[wezlo (revwez)]

Raul sent me a build yesterday which worked - is this the same one?

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

No, it should be a little bit more towards an official build with a correct splash screen etc...

[wezlo (revwez)]

gotcha, I'll install it now

Jpegs work - when I started it up it was trying to display on a single
screen by default - I dragged the control window over until I could toggle
the "go live" setting, but if it's default behavior some people who are
working on single-screen setups to configure services might be confused...

just tried to build a new version on 10.5 with the latest pyinstaller: that works also for me on my 10.6 test system with JPEG support (yay!), please test the latest weekly build

[wezlo (revwez)]

Link?

sorry: http://openlp.org/files/latest.dmg (that's always the latest OS X build URL)

[wezlo (revwez)]

thanks, jpegs are still working...

Hello,

Is this now fixed? Anything to be done?

The following things have to be done/looked at:
- the ticket in the support system
- maybe a short blog post?

Cheers

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

Hello Andreas, yes, this is now fixed! I am currently preparing an official merge proposal to build correctly on Snow Leopard, thus I did not publish anything yet. Do you think we should already write a blog post pointing to "latest.dmg"?

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

I think we should not use the nightly link.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

We are using that link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/1.9.6/OpenLP-1.9.6.1.dmg/download

See here for the full blog post http://openlp.org/en/blog/2011/08/10/openlp-snow-leopard-now-officially-fully-supported

I think we can close this now...

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

The documentation has to be updated to reflect the changes: http://manual.openlp.org/troubleshooting.html#i-have-jpg-images-and-they-will-not-work-on-my-system

I do not know if there are any issues with XP :-(
Maybe somebody in IRC knows...
