Tiff Plugin

Tiff Plugin is a software compatible with Mozilla and Netscape that enables the viewing of TIFF images. It is a highly useful tool that offers features such as zooming, rotation, and a progress bar to show the progress when downloading images. This software is especially beneficial when available memory is limited.

With its keyboard shortcuts and user-friendly interface, Tiff Plugin allows users to zoom in and out of their images with the '+' and '-' keys, respectively. Additionally, users can rotate their images anticlockwise and clockwise by pressing the 'a' and 'c' keys, respectively. Its progress bar keeps users informed of the download progress, making it easier to anticipate when the images can be viewed.

The plugin is available in .deb format for both i386 and amd64 systems, which makes installing it easy on Debian-based systems. Users can simply use the command "dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-i386.deb" or "dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-amd64.deb" to install the plugin. For non-debian based systems, users need to compile the sources. The process is straightforward and requires the installation of pkg-config, libgtk2.0-dev, and mozilla-dev.

To install the source files, users would need to unzip the files using "tar -zxvf mozilla-tiff-plugin.tar.gz," use "cd mozilla-tiff-plugin" to navigate to the unzipped directory, and then run the commands "make," "make plugin," and "make install."

The plugin has been tested and found to be compatible with Firefox and Mozilla browsers. This latest release of Tiff Plugin comes with bug fixes that enable it to work seamlessly with Ubuntu 7.10. There have also been minor changes in the Makefile. Overall, Tiff Plugin is a useful software for users looking for an efficient way of viewing TIFF images on their browsers.
