            Bug ID: 309465
          Severity: major
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Failed to load image for XCF files
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: rtalbot at vtti.vt.edu
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Preview
           Product: digikam

I just upgraded to Xubuntu 12.04 from 10.04, which upgraded my digiKam to 2.5,
and now my album view won't render XCF files.  I don't recall which version of
digiKam ran in Xubuntu 10.04, but this issue was not present.  Most (but not
all) XCF thumbnails show up as the generic balloon image, but even those that
have a thumbnail will not load in preview.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to open any XCF file created in GIMP
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Album view says, "Failed to load image"
Console says:
digikam(17729)/digikam (core) Digikam::ThumbnailCreator::createThumbnail:
Cannot create thumbnail for 
"/home/guardd0gg/Photos/2009-08-06/processed/_dsc4833.xcf" 
digikam(17729)/digikam (core) Digikam::ThumbnailCreator::load: Thumbnail is
null for  "/home/guardd0gg/Photos/2009-08-06/processed/_dsc4833.xcf" 


Expected Results:  
Album displays preview of XCF file

The only useful thing digiKam 2.5 appears to be able to do with XCF files is
send them to the GIMP for editing, any other operation results in failure to
load.

System is x86_64 Xubuntu 12.04
