You can use DefaultTool to open ViewTIFF to view TIFF Images but this is just a test version with messages that need to be removed for the official version. I'm using ViewTIFF to test TIFF Datatype. So far the Datatype is falling. I have to find the working source code on my ABIv1 Build System. I have a working 64bit Datatype but I don't know which source code it relates to.

Thanks miker it works well, can Tooltypes be used as a default tool in the future, or can PixieView do it?

Here is a version of TiffInfo & ViewTIFF that are working. Both programs are using Tiff Library.

OK Thank you

I know about DT2Thumb. It creates thumbnail images. It's a nice utility.

For Wanderer if possible it would be nice to have three modes: Icon View, Name View & Tile View. The last one would show selectable thumbnails for a directory full of picture files. But that's part of the Wish List. It hasn't been done yet.

I'm not sure about the second utility. I will look at it to see what it does. The description in the source code says "Load picture files with the Datatypes library and write c source to stdout. The output can be used by Raw image MCC". I'm not sure what all that means. Maybe it prints the image data to the shell output. Hmmm...

miker in the contrib there are 2 interesting little pieces of software "DT2Thumb" and "DTypeToSource".

"DT2Thum" creates thumbnails at an adjustable size, only problem is that for each image it creates an Icon, so if an icon exists it is overwritten
It would be nice if the icon did not come but only temporary !

"DTypeToSource" I didn't quite understand what it does and how it works !

If you need Dopus5 Magellan configured for AROS One 2.7 I can attach it here!

Have you noticed that my "TIF" descriptor installed on AROS One recognises TIFF files even without an extension!

Try removing or changing the extension and you will see that AROS One will still recognise the correct format:

Example Name like this:

Year-1404.tif
Year-1404.tiff
Year-1404.tif
Year-1404.test
Year-1404.jpg
Year-1404.ilbm
Year-1404.png

Even with these wrong extensions AROS One will recognise that it is a TIF file and will assign the correct def_icon (see screenshot)

If you wish, TiffInfo can be executed from Icon !

Here is the Tiff Library Archive that is working.

Copy everything from 'include' to Development/Include.

Copy everything from 'lib' to Development/lib.

After that TiffInfo should work to list details about TIFF Images. TiffInfo only works in a shell.

You may need to restart AROS after installing.

The results of the testing so far for TIFF Datatype & TIFF Library is as follows:

Yesterday nothing worked. But today I decided to use the TIFF Library that was available as a download compiled for AROS x86. It worked.

TiffInfo is a small utility supplied with Tiff Library. As you can see in the screenshot it's working and it's using Tiff Library to get that.

ViewTIFF and TIFF Datatype aren't working yet. But the TIFF Datatype Descriptor is also working.

Success installing AROS One x86 v2.7. I installed it in VMWare Player 16 because VirtualBox didn't co-operate. The virtual machine in VMWare is a little slow. I also have AROS One V2.7 installed on a spare computer where I work. The native version on real hardware is hopefully faster!

Interestingly, yesterday afternoon I installed AROS One. Today I wanted to do more testing but shortly after I started up my computer it shut off. It no longer worked. Luckily for me I work at a computer repair shop so I suspected what the problem was. I had a spare atx power supply so I installed it. The computer started right up. Joy!

I will test it when I get AROS One x86 v2.7 installed.

In this source code archive you will find the DTD file for TIFF Datatype. Maybe you can compile it using the CreateDTDescriptor tool. I forget what it is called.

It's not the TIFF Datatype. TIFF Library isn't working correctly. I did some testing on AROS One.

miker Tiff.datatypes does not work, tried on 2 systems, practically Tiff.datatypes is ignored.

I copied the sources to Development/lib and Development/include !

Here are the TIFF Files that are required to install & test TIFF Datatype for loading & saving TIFF Images using TIFF Library. There is a ReadMe.

These are not the stable releases so please don't re-post them as working utilities, libraries & Datatypes. These are for testing purposes only.

Thanks miker, I managed to compile IconClone and IconDrop on AROS One v11 64Bit and they seem to work fine

Thanks for telling me about Icon Clone. I will update it as soon as I can.

Many such programs & utilities need to be updated. But I think we should start with Datatypes.

I have compiled TIFF Datatype & Descriptor using the ABIv0 Build System. I will post it here for testing along with ViewTIFF.

miker, iconclone.x86-64-v11 does not work!

Regarding the Virtualbox video, I answered you here:

I already removed those entries in mmakefile src. As you can see in the screenshot it works.

It has been a very productive day!

BTW you need to remove these lines:

USER_CFLAGS := -noposixc
USER_LDFLAGS := -noposixc

These switches are not recognized by the compiler.

No I didn't try it. crtmod needs to come at end of libraries - it contains the exit and assert symbols.

Did that compile for you using that change in the mmakefile.src ?

Oh,my goodness! It worked.

Thank you very much for your help. :-)

Now I must upgrade my system files to test it. But in the meantime I can use AROS Bootstrap.
