Hi there, When running emacs in daemon mode if I open an image file it will be rendered in a window. If I try to open a second image file it will not be rendered and in its place there will be a square. The size of the square is constant and appears unrelated to the size of the image. This issue can also be reproduced by closing the emacsclient, starting it again and trying to open the image file for a second time. For the purposes or reproducing this issue I downloaded the following two files https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-10/png8Z1ZsfVurU.png https://www.gnu.org/graphics/gnu-head.jpg as test.png and test.jpg respectively * Image rendering works in normal mode $ emacs -Q C-x C-f ~/test.png ...image loads C-x C-f ~/test.jpg ...image loads C-x C-c $ emacs -Q C-x C-f ~/test.png ...image loads C-x C-f ~/test.jpg ...image loads * Second image file fails to load $ emacs --daemon -Q $ emacsclient -c C-x C-f ~/test.png ...image loads C-x C-f ~/test.jpg ...image fails to load properly It doesn't matter which image is loaded first, the second always fails to render * Loading same file in two different client sessions $ emacs --daemon -Q $ emacsclient -c C-x C-f ~/test.png ...image loads C-x C-c $ emacsclient -c C-x C-f ~/test.png ...image fails to load properly In both of the failure cases I can see imagemagick errors in *messages* Starting Emacs daemon. When done with this frame, type C-x 5 0 Type C-c C-c to view the image as text.
