Unfortunately I don't think that the support is there yet
for import of other image formats other than PNG. Not so
much because of the lack of BeOS support (AbiWord uses
translators so if you have a JPEG translator installed
then it should just work), but because the package as a whole
in the cross application part, doesn't handle it properly.
I could probably code around this, but other things are
up on the priority list (like printing). Feel free to
dig into the sources on your own however, since it
certainly shouldn't just hang when you try to import
an invalid image format!
I don't think that there is a --debug option, but I'm
sure that the AbiFolk will let me know if there is ...
perhaps it is a good idea, turn all of the UT_DEBUGMSG,s
on if --debug is called. Probably a big runtime performance
hit though.
