Trouble with in-line images and iimage.el

Trouble with in-line images and iimage.el

[John Hendy]

Hi,


I'm trying to display inline images. I downloaded iimage.el and added
it's path to my load-path. I also added the code found on Worg for
inline images with iimage.[1] Lastly, I've added =#+startup:
inlineimages= just to be sure nothing is holding things back. I've
tried both =[[file:c:/path/to/file.png]]= and
=[[c:/path/to/file.png]]=

I toggle =org-toggle-iimage-in-org= and click the image and get a
buffer filled with symbols and the error in *Messages*:
-----
Cannot display image: (Invalid image specification)
-----

I had a modified .emacs from my Linux setup for Windows and didn't
remove all of my openwith configuration stuff. Originally  Windows was
looking for geeqie when I clicked the image. I removed that bit and no
longer get the error that geeqie doesn't exist. Could openwith be
doing anything else with this? I think I just git pulled/re-made last
week.

I used a couple different pictures I had as well as one downloaded off
of google images in .png form, just to try. This is on Windows 7. Is
there anything else I need to do? How might I troubleshoot this?

For something reproducible, here's a minimal .emacs I loaded using
=emacs.exe -Q -l /path/to/.emacs=
----------
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Users/a1rhwzz/installed/emacs-23.3/site-lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org.git/contrib/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org.git/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp")

(require 'org-install)
(require 'iimage)
(add-to-list 'iimage-mode-image-regex-alist
             (cons (concat "\\[\\[file:\\(~?" iimage-mode-image-filename-regex
                           "\\)\\]")  1))

(defun org-toggle-iimage-in-org ()
  "display images in your org file"
  (interactive)
  (if (face-underline-p 'org-link)
      (set-face-underline-p 'org-link nil)
      (set-face-underline-p 'org-link t))
  (iimage-mode))
----------

And here's a minimal file:
----------
#+startup: inlineimages

* headline

[[C:\Users\username\Desktop\file.png]]

[[file:C:\Users\username\Desktop\file.png]]
----------

And the *Messages* output:
----------
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
(New file)
OVERVIEW
(New file)
Type C-c C-c to view the image as an image.
Cannot display image: (Cannot determine image type)
----------

Thanks,
John

Iimage is obsolete. Org-mode have the ability to display inline images
for quite some time now.

This should be:

     #+org-startup-with-inline-images: t

and use "C-c C-x C-v" to toggle inline images.

Cheers,
Charles

Good to know and I'll remove that stuff.

The manual appears to be out of date on this?

Either way, those weren't it. Windows, as usual, requires silly
maneuvers to get things working properly. I loosened my google hunting
to emacs in general and found this beauty:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2650041/emacs-under-windows-and-png-files

I had to track down a bunch of .dlls and copy them into my Emacs bin/
directory. From there it worked. For the record, I added the following
to my bin/ dir:
libpng.dll
libpng12.dll
libpng12-0.dll
libpng13.dll
libpng14-14.dll
libjpeg62.dll
zlib1.dll

Now I have jpg and png viewing abilities in Org.


Thanks,
John

Sorry you are right on that one for in buffer
setting. "org-startup-with-inline-images" is the variable that controls
it.

That doesn't look right to me: that's the internal variable, not the name
that should appear in the file. In fact, org.el says:

,----
| $ grep org-startup-with-inline-images *.el
| org.el:(defcustom org-startup-with-inline-images nil
| org.el:    ("inlineimages" org-startup-with-inline-images t)
| org.el:    ("noinlineimages" org-startup-with-inline-images nil)
| org.el:    (when org-startup-with-inline-images
`----

so

#+STARTUP: inlineimages

seems to be the correct invocation.

Nick

PS. Not that I've tested anything, mind you...

Thanks, John, it worked for me too. It was easier than I thought, I've never 
noticed I didn't have these libraries.

Yay -- glad it helped! It was frustrating hunting around and not
getting this to work. Such a neat feature.
