MPO files - a pleasant surprise.

[BC <Bill Costa alumni unh edu>]

Dear EOG developers,

I recently purchased a 3D digital camera made by Fuji:

  http://www.fujifilm.com/products/3d/camera/finepix_real3dw1/

and have only begun to play with it.  The camera saves the stereo
pairs in MPO format (JPEG Multi-Picture Format).  Unlike Windows
XP or Mac OS X, in Gnome (Ubuntu 8.04) these MPO files were
automatically recognized as image files and clicking on the file
icon in the desktop revealed one of the pairs (the left I think)
with EOG.  There are of course various applications available on
both Mac and Windows that deal with these MPO files, but it was a
pleasant surprise that Gnome Desktop/EOG was ready to recognize
and do something useful with these files right out of the box.

Hat's off to you folks for being ahead of the curve on this one.

                                                         ...BC
