Display TIF - empty pages

[Florian Wil]

Binary package hint: evince

Some B/W TIF -files are not displayed. After some investigation I realised, that only pages/files containing no DPI-information are not displayed. Error message (German localization: Das Dokument enthält nur leere Seiten): File contains empty pages only.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you attach a sample file showing this issue?

Sample tiff image

[Marcel Stimberg (marcelstimberg)]

Thanks for the file, I can reproduce it on 10.10 and 11.04. The problem seems to be that the resolution is set to "0 × 0 dpi". However, for example GIMP handles this situation much more gracefully ("Image resolution is out of bounds, using the default resolution instead."). I think evince should also use a default value here.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if you could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I added a bug watch for your upstream bug report.
Danke

The upstream bug watch pointed to a totem plugins bug and not one regarding evince so I've removed it. Florian could you confirm the bug number you've received? Thanks.

Moin!

Looks like bugzilla.gnome.org forgot everything it should know about me and this bug respectivly.

I cannot log in nor can I see the file bug!

Maybe due to "the crash" of their hardware on Friday?

I try to submit this bug again ...
