Dang it ... I remember seeing this problem some months ago, probably in
June, but now cannot remember how I fixed it.
Therion 6.3.4+dev running on Fedora 43.
In late December I worked on a cave map and had no problems with it.
xTherion opened jpg files as backgrounds. Today I went back to that
same map, and it will not load the background jpg files. It will open
png backgrounds. The only error I can see is in the Background Images
field. It shows the name of the jpg file and adds "(unknown)" at the end.
I checked both tkimg and libjpeg. They are installed. What else is
required for this to work?
I started xtherion from a command shell. There were no additional error
messages. Is there a log file somewhere that might give more clues?
In early January I ran the usual update process for all packages. Both
tkimg and libjpeg were updated. I don't see anything that was removed
other than old kernels.
Thanks!
