Re: Creating a new image loader

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. By following the KImageIO plugin design I finally 
have an I/O plugin for the Softimage PIC format working properly with 
most KDE tools (tested with Kview, Kuickshow, and Kcolourpaint).
But for some reason, it is not working with gwenview :( The weird thing 
is that gwenview manages to create thumbnails, but it does not show the 
image in full screen or in the left panel. In fact, the left panel says 
"No image selected".

The format that I am supporting (Softimage PIC), is the main image 
format for 3D Animation industry working with Softimage|XSI. Our company 
would like to start using gwenview in production, but I can't get it 
working with PIC images. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
