PNG & Gif support

Parent article: digiKam approaches 1.0

I think that rawhide must be doing something weird with your kde/digikam
builds that prevent it from having png/gif support. On gentoo showfoto opens
png's just peachy and gif is listed in the supported file list in the file
dialog although I don't have any such file to play with.

Oh my. No, the problem exists with the author, not rawhide or digiKam. Pilot error. I just tested again (now with much less stupidity!) and, as you say, it works great. I'll patch the article.

thanks!

Wouldn't it be better to "strikeout" the whole paragraph?...
