My Eye of GNOME (45.2 with eog-plugins) fails to open a .tif file. However, the file can be opened with LibreOffice Draw or gscan2pdf.
Why could this be?
What is the terminal output?
The title is Leap 15.6 but category 15.5?
eog C1841_689_00_011_000_2_013Z.tif
From eog GUI output :
Could not load image “C1841_689_00_011_000_2_013Z.tif”.
Failed to load TIFF image
I put 15.6. in the title because a) a category is mandatory, and b) Leap 15.6 is not offered in the category list
Why then are there a lot of topics tagged leap-156 in these forums?
Good question…I was surpised myself and finally gave up searching. On reflection, it may have been an old URL, I suppose…or something like that…but that was not my first thought

…but we are off-topic. what about Eye of GNOME and TIFF files? Or shall I ask admin to delete this post and try to restart it with the right category, if I can find it?
I have chaged it to Leap 15.6
Post:
zypper se -si tiff eog
PROBLEM SOLVED: I changed the file ending to .jpg and it opened with Eye of GNOME successfully.
Other TIF files in my collection do not show this problem. Perhaps it was a problem coming from the download source back in 2015.
Sorry to have troubled everyone…
