Image View Problem

This is probably a ridiculous question...however...

When clicking on a thumbnail in a digiKam album to open the
Image viewer/editor, the picture doesn't display - I only
get the default backround.

The status bar at the bottom of the viewer indicates there's
no data (0x0 pixels). However, looking at document
properties in Image Viewer/Editor displays both the
thumbnail and all the correct data.

Any ideas on what's happening here?

Cheers,
Bron

In reply to Sami Cokar's message...

We're working straight off the flash drive from the camera
plugged into a USB port (the camera USB chip is broken - but
for info's sake it's a Fuji Finepix 3500).

The digikam version is 0.8.8-r2. The photos are in JPEG and
not
RAW form.

Not sure if this matters - but we're running the latest
version of Gentoo 2.6.20 with KDE 3.5.

I'm going to double check we have the dependencies compiled
in case we've missed a basic step somewhere.

Thanks

We're working straight off the flash drive from the camera
plugged into a USB port (the camera USB chip is broken - but
for info's sake it's a Fuji Finepix 3500).

The digikam version is 0.8.8-r2.

This is the problem. In digiKam < 0.9.0 we use imlib2 to handle picture files. This library use a plugin mechanism to add new file formats to support.... and you can have the library core without the plugins installed on your computer. The result is a black picture in editor.

In all case, i recommend you to forget 0.8.x release and toogle imediatly to 0.9.1, the last stable release. The imlib2 depency have been removed.

... Also, you will see a looooots oooooof new features appears in 0.9.x... We have fixed around 300 bugfix/wishes from bugzilla. The 0.9.0 developpement have take more than one year... See the web project site for details (http://www.digikam.org)
