Hello List,
we’re using RT 3.8.2.
Is there any chance to display (a preview of) tiff-attachments?
It works fine with .png, .jpg, etc… so it would be nice to see support for .tiff, too.
Kind regards,
Tom

I don’t know of any web browsers that display TIFF images; certainly not IE or
Firefox. I suppose it should be possible to internally convert the TIFF to a
browser-supported image type in a temp file and send that to the browser as a
“preview”, but image conversion is very CPU expensive. You’re better off just
storing it as an image type that web browsers can display in the first place.

Hello. You can get plugins that display TIFFs (http://www.alternatiff.com/
looks like it works in IE as well as Firefox, Opera, and Chrome) but
I agree with Thomas’ approach.

Safari and Konqueror do, and a bunch of less significant ones.
Still, it’s almost certainly a better use of your time to convert the
images into something with broader browser support.
