[mac] QImage.load fails

In my little app, i have the following code:

Code:

---

QImage b;
if ( ! b.load(fileName)  ) {  
    cerr << "Could not load image: " << qPrintable(fileName) << endl;  
}

---

This works just fine under Windows and Linux, but i can't get it to work under Mac OS X (10.4.10).
I am using Qt 4.3.1

The filename and its permissions are OK.

I have also checked the path of the image formats plugins with this code:

Code:

---

QStringList paths = QCoreApplication::libraryPaths();
  for ( QStringList::Iterator p = paths.begin(); p != paths.end(); ++ p )
	  printf( "%s:", (*p).toLatin1().constData() );

---

This path seems to be OK, too.

Does anyone have an idea why QImage does not load the image?

Can I get more info why it does not load the image?

Any pointers, hints, suggestions, etc., will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Gabriel.

Just a rough guess: do you have the necessary image plugin available on Mac?

I think so:

% ll /usr/local/qt/plugins/imageformats/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 46K Aug 28 12:20 libqgif.dylib*

What does QImageReader::supportedImageFormats() return?

Thanks a lot!

I have found this list of image formats:
bmp , pbm , pgm , png , ppm , xbm , xpm

Which I got with this code:

Code:

---

QList<QByteArray> formats = QImageReader::supportedImageFormats();
  for ( QList<QByteArray>::Iterator f = formats.begin(); f != formats.end(); ++ f )
	  printf("%s , ", f->constData() );

---

First of all, I am really supprised, because from QCoreApplication::libraryPaths() I've ot this path: /usr/local/qt-4.3.1/plugins
And there is the sub-directory imageformats, and in that there is libqjpeg.dylib .
So why is that?

Second, the question, of course is, what can I do?

Best regards,
Gabriel.
