Custom image plugin testing difficulties
-
Hi,
You don't instantiate a QApplication so there's not way for QImage to know where to load your plugin from
-
Oops, instantiate... okay, my bad. Thanks
EDIT: Still doesn't work, and QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS shows normal results:
Found metadata in lib /home/admin/Documents/Qt-extra/imageformats/tim/timtest/imageformats/libtim.so, metadata=
{
"IID": "TimPlugin",
"MetaData": {
"Keys": [
"tim"
]
},
"className": "TimPlugin",
"debug": true,
"version": 328705
} -
The most simple is to copy your plugin in Qt's plugin folder or you can tell your application to search in the folder containing your plugin with QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath
-
Well as I showed above, with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable set, the program is picking it up. However, it still refuses to load it. Is the IID or keys array invalid? I figured if it was choking on the plugin code itself, it would either error, segfault, or spit out a corrupt PNG.
-
Without seeing your code, it's pretty much Crystal Ball Debugging (™) I can't say
-
Well, I had posted my code in the original post. However, my handler class was tweaked a bit after spotting some errors, so here's the updated class code:
EDIT: I did a few tests on QImageReader that should fail with unsupported format error, but I keep getting "unknown error." I attempted to load my ".pro" qmake file to see which error it would get but still unknown error. However, I compiled qtraw from Github, dropped it into an imageformats subdirectory and it ran fine.

Sorry about the code part, I had a problem when I read it first and only saw the end of it.
What about a more simple json ?{ "Keys": [ "tim" ], "MimeTypes": [ "image/x-tim" ] } -
Well, while I could try that, I don't know if that's the mime type for TIM files. A Google search doesn't help either. My examination of qtraw shows that it too lacks a mime type entry. Thus, I thought it was unnecessary.
EDIT: tried it anyway, still nothing
-
Just thought of something… Your plugin code is correct but:
img.load("0025.tim", "tim");"0025.tim" is a relative path, is that image in the same folder as your executable ? You should rather give the full path to it.
-
I forgot a correction I made:
Q_PLUGIN_METADATA(IID "org.qt-project.Qt.QImageIOHandlerFactoryInterface" FILE "tim.json") -
Yeah, I changed it to that in my progress trying to fix it, but no go. I booted up QtCreator and created a new project from Qt plugin template but I see nothing unusual in comparison with my code, aside from the constructor with QObject* parameter, which I skipped in my code because I saw no point for an empty constructor/destructor.
-
So after a little tinkering, I got qmake to generate main.moc which I thought was needed, but I'm still having issues with the plugin not being discovered. Additionally, the RGBA5551 conversion function was incorrect, which I fixed, but that shouldn't be the make-or-break factor.
-
Not being discovered or not loaded ? Did you put your plugin in a imageformats subfolder ?
-
Yep. Even set target.path in my .pro file thinking that was the issue. Qt seems very nitpicky.
EDIT: Just debugged again, found this gem of an error:
QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/home/admin/Documents/Qt-extra/imageformats/qtim/timtest/imageformats/libqtim.so" : "Cannot load library /home/admin/Documents/Qt-extra/imageformats/qtim/timtest/imageformats/libqtim.so: (/home/admin/Documents/Qt-extra/imageformats/qtim/timtest/imageformats/libqtim.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11QTimHandler9setOptionEN15QImageIOHandler11ImageOptionERK8QVariant)" -
Which version of Qt are you using ?
What happens if you try to load it by hand using QLibrary ?
