gthumb - cannot see image...

Hi,

I cannot see images with gthumb on ~x86. Basically, it behaves like if the directories contain no image files.

It used to work fine before.

I re-emerge gthumb, I tried several version and I re-emerge all the direct dependencies and serveral others as well. No success.

I tried with a new empty user (to make sure not some config file in my $HOME corrupted) and it didn't work.

I emerged it on ~ppc and it work fine.

Someone fill in a bug report about this. That person can get it to work on x86 but not amd64. But no additional info.

Google gave no info about this.

If I cannot get it to work any suggestion of good similar software?

same here, nothing updated and now gthumb and eog cant see any images anymore, also adding wp's to nautilus as background stopped working (desktop properties and the shortcut in nautilus has been greyed out)

really weird

Hmm, gqview works but it cant set my nautilus background (and nautilus doesnt display any thumbs itself anymore when using iconview)

I still think its odd that something broke just like that, without an update or something like that...

Do your files have UPPERCASE filenames? I think that's still a bug in gthumb.

If they do, try renaming them using lowercase characters only (e.g. foo.jpg instead of Foo.JPG)

There are various ways of renaming multiple files if you need to.

no, all images files (jpg/png and gif) are invisable (lowercase and uppercase) and eog and nautilus have the same problems, besides that: the problem came out of the blue (one moment it worked fine and then it was broken, without anything being upgraded)

Same here since I upgrade gtk+ to 2.4.9, but only gqview can view image now,

who can tell me what the problem is?

This is weird, just as sudden as the problem came it has disappeared, the only thing that I've changed was my icon theme (which was suede in gnome) and then by accident I noticed that nautilus diplayed my images again and so did gthumb)

I fail to see the relationship (if any) between those icons and this but I hope it will not happend again

re-emerge gnome, then every thing ok,
I think the problem is when you emerge gthumb with USE=-gnome , it will runs ok, but if you emerge it with USE=gnome then you need update some gnome packages, maybe gnome-vfs .

Hi,

Working now. I downgrade gtk+ to x86. Worked. Then I re-emerge the ~x86 version. Worked. Before testing, I updated Firefox (one or two gnome things updated). So difficult to tell what was actually wrong...

Thanks,
