Problems with displaying inline images

Problems with displaying inline images

[Julian M. Burgos]

Dear list,

I cannot get org-mode to display inline images.  Instead, when doing M-x
org-toggle-inline-images I get a "No images to display inline".  But if
I click on the image link, the image appears in a new buffer with no problems.

This happens with a clean emacs instance (emacs -Q), so it is not my
configuration. I am running org mode 9.0.5 on emacs 25.1.1. with support
for ImageMagick, on CentOS 7.

Does anybody has an idea of what could be wrong?

Julian

Read the description of the org-display-inline-images command, which
org-toggle-inline-images uses.  If your link has associated text,
i.e. [[file:image][some text]], you will need to invoke either command
with C-u as, by default, only those messages with no descriptive text
will be displayed as they are not considered "inline".

Thanks Eric. I did read the description, and my link do not have any
associated text.  It is something else. If I evaluate (print
image-types) I get the following:

(imagemagick png gif tiff jpeg xpm xbm pbm postscript).  And if I
evaluate for example (image-type-available-p 'jpeg) I get "t".  But if I evaluate (print image-library-alist), I get nil.  I think I am supposed to get the
libraries used by emacs to display the images, correct?  Do I need to
populate this list by hand?

Thanks again,

Julian

Do'oh! It wasn't an org-mode issue.  The figures where bitmaps and I did not
have bmp in the image-file-name-extensions variables.  Sorry for the
noise!
