'gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file' could not be found about pympress HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @FriedrichFroebel, the first error seems to be due to your configuration of the layout. It's in the "layout" section in the configuration file, which in windows is at %APPDATA%/pympress.ini.

It's probably just a benign symptom of upgrading from an old version, and should go away when the configuration file is updated. If it doesn't go away, that means pympress doesn't upgrade smoothly.

The second bug seems to be a missing file in the share/pixmaps folder, specifically the pointer_red.png. Could you check it's there?

Wait, my bad, what's missing is the gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file function, that should be provided by the Gdk.GdkPixbuf.

I'll check if this is normal, in which case we'll add a different loading method as fallback. Otherwise it's probably an problem with your PyGi installation.

After getting the layout error, I tried to rename the old ini file to get a new one created on the next startup and still got this error as the pympress.ini file could not be written because of the Pixbuf problem.

During an update of my PyGi installation, I discovered that the Gdk-Pixbuf package has to be selected separately. Adding it to the list of the packages to install all issues were resolved as the pympress.ini could be written now, too. This should probably be mentioned inside the README.
