Hi,

Yesterday I discovered something odd. I tried to check whether a crash in 1.5.0svn also affects 1.4.3. To my surprise I learned that I can import file types supported by GraphicsMagick but not by Qt4, e.g., XCF, PCX, or SGI. Even the file preview is working! 

My version of 1.4.3 has not been built with GM support (as I didn't expect GM integration there). I also tried this on Windows 7, with GM installed, but to no avail.

Can someone please explain how this is possible?

If there is going to be a final 1.4.4 bugfix release, I'd like to add this information to the docs.

Christoph
