Summary: Print preview generates HUGE postscript files
Product: showfoto
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: d.h.j.takken phys uu nl
Version: 0.3.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
When I open a 2 Megapixel photograph in showFoto and create a print preview, Showfoto generates 54 MB of postscript data, which takes 15 minutes to display on the screen. Not exactly practical.
When I print the same image to a Postscript file from the print dialog, showFoto generates 2 MB of postscript data which takes 30 seconds to display on the screen.
This 2 MB postscript file is 30% *smaller* than the original PNG image, and has lost a lot of details.
What is going on here?
