[Digikam-users] certain Gimp xcf files cause showFoto to crash

[Gilles Caulier]

Setup/Type Mime, where you can add and remove file format to manage in digiKam.

Just entry if i remember "-xcf" in image format. Try SHIFT+F1 for help.

There is no such option for Showfoto

Note that there is no CXF image loader code in digiKam all is delegate
to KDEimgio component.
