Thanks, I reported this bug against eog since I know it is able to show many images (like all images in one directory) so, maybe, displaying a multipage TIFF isn't really difficult. Please note, that multipage TIFF is a very common format and will be more common in the future since it is the only "safe" format for archiving signed images of important documents. Just as an example, the italian law permit to store digitally archived images of document, if you electronically sign the archive, and delete the original paper. Many companies are now switching to this, and record every document in amultipage TIFF file (our law suggest to use TIFF since almost all other format include some sort of macro and would probably change the document itself.) This is not a problem for GIMP, since it is a *manipulation* program, but it is a real problem for imagemagik and eog that just display images. Anyway, thanks for forwarding this upstream. Giuseppe
