openoffice support fails to render some embedded images

Post #1 of 5 (2525 views)

Hi,

We've been successfully using forrest 0.8 for over a year now and we like
the ability to build content from openoffice .odt documents. (
http://newton.codecauldron.org)

We largely have this working, but we still find that it is sensitive to what
type of images are embedded in the .odt file: .png and .jpg images render
fine, but .tiff images do not.

Is this just because the file extension in the OO file is .tif rather than
.tiff, or something else?

$ unzip -l InstallationGuide.odt
Archive: InstallationGuide.odt
Length Date Time Name
-------- ---- ---- ----
39 06-05-09 16:49 mimetype
0 06-05-09 16:49 Configurations2/images/Bitmaps/
127620 06-05-09 16:49 Pictures/1000000000000280000001E02A9E9828.tif
59894 06-05-09 16:49 Pictures/1000000000000280000001E0E2C50ACF.tif
7160 06-05-09 16:49 Pictures/1000000000000196000001142835D184.jpg

Up until now, we have just been replacing embedded .tiff images with .png or
.jpg, but this is a pain.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this properly?

Thanks,

Derek

See $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/raw.xmap
and search in file for "jpg" and "jpeg".
Add similar handling to read other raw formats,
such as TIFF.

Please add a patch to our issue tracker:

Hi,

I am going to work a little on forrest on friday,
I will see what's the problem with tif files.
Did you create an issue for this in Jira ?

Hi,

No I didn't create a Jira issue.

I have not yet tried David's suggestion of looking in raw.xmap, as I'm
currently travelling, but I hope to try it next week.

I'm sorry, I forgot to report that I did some troubleshooting on
this. I tried David's suggestion with raw.xmap, but I didn't notice
any change. When I called the full URL of the graphic that wasn't
displaying as it should have done, the image was fetched but the
mime-type was not what I specified in raw.xmap.
