GTK and images?
« on: November 18, 2009, 04:07:37 PM »
Using GTK in python, GTK seems unable to determine the file format of any image I throw at it.

Similarly, I've noticed pidgin is unable to display smileys or contacts' avatars. It would seem that this is related to python's inability to interact with images properly.


Any idea what's going on here?

*scratches head* I'll be a little annoyed at myself if it's that simple.

Thanks, I'll install that when I get home.

This looks related to my problem, and I see shared-mime-info mentioned there, too.
