Hi all
I'm getting a funny error when trying to open (simple C-x C-f) PDF files
in doc-view mode. The png appears in /tmp/docview500/foo, but then the
image doesn't actually appear in the buffer -- and then *Messages* shows
the error:
ImageMagick error: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat
\ `/tmp/docview500/obsmltest.pdf-07534b262c8761286817c76762acef2c/page-1.png'
\ @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/550 [2 times]
(line breaks added)
...which is a bit baffling.
Any ideas? Poking around in doc-view.el left me none the wiser (it seems
the above is an ImageMagick error, but I can't see exactly where
doc-view calls an ImageMagick program)
Using: GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4)
thanks,
Edward

M-x report-emacs-bug RET
Let experts figure out what the deal is.

Meanwhile, try disabling imagemagick or play around with the following
variables, visible via M-x customize-group RET image
,----
| Show Value Imagemagick Enabled Types
| List of ImageMagick types to treat as images. More
|
| Show Value Imagemagick Types Inhibit
| List of ImageMagick types that should never be treated as images. More
`----
You can also search for imagemagick in NEWS file - C-h n.
Here are the top few entries.
,----
| ** ImageMagick support, if available, is automatically enabled.
| It is no longer necessary to call `imagemagick-register-types'
| explicitly to install ImageMagick image types; that function is called
| automatically at startup, or when customizing a relevant imagemagick-
| option.
| +++
| *** Setting `imagemagick-types-inhibit' to t now disables the use of
| ImageMagick to view images. You must call imagemagick-register-types
| afterwards if you do not use customize to change this.
| +++
| *** The new variable `imagemagick-enabled-types' also affects which
| ImageMagick types are treated as images. The function
| `imagemagick-filter-types' returns the list of types that will be
| treated as images.
| ---
| *** Images displayed via ImageMagick now support transparency and the
| :background image spec property.
|
|
| ** Emacs can be compiled with ImageMagick support.
| This happens by default if a suitably recent version of the library is
| found at build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
| `--without-imagemagick'. See below for ImageMagick features.
| This feature is not available for the Nextstep or MS ports.

It seems your ImageMagick hasn't been compiled with PNG support. Does
$ identify -list format
include PNG with mode "rw-"? Also,
$ identify -list configure
should include --with-png in CONFIGURE and png in DELEGATES.
What distro are you using?
Bye,
Tassilo

Hi, thanks for the response.
It actually seems I've fixed it with a package update & relaunching
emacs -- I think an update of ImageMagick (or similar) while emacs was
running confused it somehow.

(for the record: I'm using Arch -- perhaps more prone to these strange
mix-ups!)
