First off: i'm not sure whether this is a bug in thunar-vfs or ristretto itself. If this is the wrong place please move this report.

On filesystems with no Extended File Attribute implementation (xattr) ristretto won't open any pictures. Checked this several times with differrent picture types. This bug is reproduceable. When trying to open a file on a FS without xattr there is no waring shown whatsoever. It just return to the normal startup view (i.e no preview, just a blank main window). Ristretto works flawless on reiserfs (checked with current slackware build).

relevant lines from strace:

lstat64("/home/stefan/testpic/SH001.jpg", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=894276, ...}) = 0
access("/home/stefan/testpic/SH001.jpg", R_OK) = 0
access("/home/stefan/testpic/SH001.jpg", W_OK) = 0
open("/home/stefan/testpic/SH001.jpg", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
fgetxattr(9, "user.mime_type", 0x0, 0)  = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
fstat64(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=894276, ...}) = 0
read(9, "\377\330\377\340\0\20JFIF\0\1\1\1\2\372\2\372\0\0\377\333"..., 64) = 64
close(9)

funny thing he reads the file nontheless ... hmmm
