No, you are not wrong... maybe I was too harsh now :-) Sorry.
But in general showFoto is used to edit images, it is mainly a standalone
version of digiKam's image editor. Sure you can use it as a viewer, but I think
there are better applications for that case, like Gwenview (if you are using
KDE) or even Dolphin, KDE's new file manager.

Maybe I'm wrong here but I guess we will never support this image format, since
it doesn't make sense to edit such files. Sometimes I think we should use a
different name for showFoto, since I think showing photos is not the main
task...

Gilles,

will GIMP files be supported?

Andi
