Summary: Most image types not showing in opened URLs

[Cameron Bromley]

Hi,

Well, thank to a couple of very speedy responses from William Shipley  
<wjs at omnigroup.com>, I have solved my problem.

It seems that TIFFany and ImageViewer were getting the hook to display the  
'foreign' images (jpeg, gif), before OmniImageViewer in the services chain.

In the TIFFany and ImageViewer app wrappers are files called "services".   
Renaming these files, then doing a 'make_services' fixed the problem.

Thanks William!

Cameron.

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting OmniWeb 0.9.3 ti display images correctly.  Most  
images (except TIFF and, bizarrely, XBM) show up as a red circle with a line  
through it.  I'm running 3.2 black on a turbo slab.

I have looked in the mailing list archive and only found 1 ref.  The  
suggestion is to rename the "services" file in the app wrapper.  Did that,  
didn't fix it.

We have a mix of black, white and HP here and other users on black hardware  
don't have my problem.

I've also
	- made damn sure that OmniImage and OmniImageFilter are installed
	  and in the right place and are built for 68k.
	- tossed out my local services and rebuilt
	- tossed out my suffixes_3_1_m68k from ~/.NeXT
	- checked my defaults database against other users.
	
I have not had this problem with previous versions.
	
Any ideas, anyone?  I figure it can't be a bug :-) , but something in my  
particular environment.

Keep up the excellent work guys!

Cameron.
