This is from 2011 and should probably have been closed, since we had bmp support in Emacs 24.1. But since it wasn't, here's the current state of affairs AFAICT: When I compile the current master branch using --with-imagemagick, viewing bmp images works for me. But imagemagick is now disabled by default (and rightly so). Without imagemagick compiled in I just get garbled text when opening a bmp file. Using Emacs 26.1 from Debian I can view BMP images just fine, as expected, since it comes with imagemagick support. It seems to me that Emacs is missing BMP support if built without imagemagick. It would be nice to not depend on that library for this use case.

Yeah, I think this is one of those image formats we'll just have to defer users to ImageMagick if they want to see... This reminds me: Since we don't really want to point users towards compiling with ImageMagick due to security concerns -- would it make sense to write a shim over external utilities to handle exotic formats? I mean, it would just have to call "convert" in a temp buffer to some format we do handle (like PNG). But I guess that doesn't really deal with the security issue, as buffer overflows in "convert" will do pretty much the same as in Emacs. But it would lead to fewer segfaults in Emacs itself, so perhaps it's worth doing? It'd be a pretty trivial shim, and we could deprecate compiling with ImageMagick for sure. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Fri Sep 27 09:42:11 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 27 Sep 2019 13:42:11 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:46056 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1iDqVf-0005Cs-AE for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 27 Sep 2019 09:42:11 -0400 Received: from quimby.gnus.org ([80.91.231.51]:59536) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1iDqVd-0005Cj-Eq for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 27 Sep 2019 09:42:09 -0400 Received: from cm-84.212.202.86.getinternet.no ([84.212.202.86] helo=marnie) by quimby.gnus.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.89) (envelope-from ) id 1iDqVa-00020J-Mo for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 27 Sep 2019 15:42:08 +0200 Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 15:42:06 +0200 Message-Id: <87d0flq2j5.fsf@gnus.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: control message for bug #963 X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "quimby.gnus.org", has NOT identified this incoming email as spam.
