Thanks everyone for your help. Sorry I haven't been responding. I didn't know there were any new replies. I didn't click the "watch this topic for replies" option and I didn't see the thread in the list of new posts since my last visit. Embarassed

Anyway, I won't have time to try anything new for a day or so. Again, thanks.

on CTAN I found

wmf2eps
http://ctan.org/pkg/wmf2eps
Quote:
A Win32 program to convert MS-Windows Metafile Graphics (WMF) containing either vector-images or bitmaps into Encapsulated PostScript format having tight bounding-boxes at exactly the same size as the WMF-originals.


I have not yet tried if it is working with wine

Okay, here's one. Change "tar.gz" to "wmf". I have no idea what it should look like.

If .wmf is Microsoft Office's native image format, OpenOffice might be able to open it, but could it convert it to jpg?

So, do you want the good news or the bad news?

OK, the bad news..

Won't open
XNView MP
Viewnior
Fotowall
Geeqie
GQView
Gimp 2.7
Fotoxx
Mashup
Inkscape
InkLite
Posterazor
Pencil
MTPaint
Laidout
TonicPoint
Dia
Scribus
Xara
ImageMagick
GraphicsMagick

Will open
sdraw (LibreOfficeDraw)

and it will export it to a variety of formats.

Your logic is in a healthy condition. Smile

It's the Jetsons.

Yes, even tho it is a vector format, it will export to .jpg, which is a raster format.

Cheers.

Maybe one of the XNView (non-MP) versions might do it, I don't know. MP is still more of a work-in-progress program, so it might not handle everything the original XNView does.

Edit: Quick test; in Windows, my versions of XNView and GIMP (as well as IrfanView) opened the WMF with no problems. In Puppy...
XNView (from XnView-1.70-patched-i486-slxr.pet): No.
GIMP (from gimp-2.6.8-sfs3.sfs): No.
OpenOffice (from openoffice3.2-sfs3.sfs) Yes - after insisting that my installed JRE was 'defective.' Shocked

LibreOffice doesn't seem to be anywhere in Racy Puppy's PPM. Where can I find it? (I see that I haven't said what Puppy I'm using. Sorry, I thought I'd put that in my first post. Embarassed )

Dear puppians,

I think some of us have been barking up the wrong tree (pardon the pun) in this discussion of wmf format. Many GTK programs (e.g. gqview and viewnior) can display wmf just fine. If they do not, it means that your GTK setup is missing gdk-pixbuf.loaders that are used by gdk_pixbuf. Examine the following file in /etc/gtk-2.0:

Code:

gdk-pixbuf.loaders


To display wmf, you need the following entry, or something similar:

Code:
"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/io-wmf.so"
"wmf" 0 "gtk20" "Windows Metafile"
"image/x-wmf" ""
"wmf" "apm" ""
"\327\315\306\232" "" 100
"\001" "" 100


in that file. In addition, you will need to have the following file present on your system:

Code:
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/io-wmf.so


I have attached mine from Lucid. You might also need libwmf.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I also have a similar entry for OSX icns format and for Photoshop psd, and quite a few more, so I can view/process quite a few image file types using standard GTK image apps. Even gtkdialog can display wmf within a <pixbuf></pixbuf>, provided you have the loader.

PPS. If the loader is set up properly, ROX-Filer will also show wmf thumbnails in icon view Smile

@Semme,

Yes, I was surprised that IM/GM didn't open it.
I really expected they would.

@vovchik,

Thanks for that.
I don't think I'll bother, 'tho.
I haven't had need to open a .wmf since I started using Linux (RedHat) in 1998, and very much doubt that I ever will now.

At best, .wmf was only ever just another Microsoft waste-of-space format.

Kooliepup,

Unless ldd /usr/bin/display returns any "not founds," there's no reason it shouldn't open with display [filename.wmf].

Semme, so ImageMagick worked for you? It would appear that my Racy Puppy is missing something. Which Puppy are you using? Or did you install the stuff that Vovchik talked about? I fooled around with /etc/gtk-2.0 for a while but didn't reboot after making changes. Maybe that's why it didn't work for me. Where can I find libwmf and where would I put it?

Since you're referencing Racy, I think v6.6.1-10 is the pkg it's pacman should've listed.

From you, same as above.. let's see this output from a shell: ldd /usr/bin/display

This is what I got.

# display ADV003.wmf
ERROR: font.c (1334): wmf_ipa_font_map: failed to load *any* font!
display: failed to scan file `ADV003.wmf' @ error/wmf.c/ReadWMFImage/186.
#

I wasn't interested in pursuing it as I don't have any need for .wmf.

What is the fix for it?

Who knows? Maybe you're missing what's described here? Mismatched pets? Version bug? I don't know....
