Years ago, evince used to display many different image formats. I don't think it does any more. I'm running evince 42.2 from debian testing/unstable. I tested this with a simple image (/usr/share/icons/cab_view.png) and imagemagick's "convert" tool like so: ```sh suffixes="gif jpg png pnm pbm pgm ppm bmp xpm ico xwd tga pcx tiff miff" for x in $suffixes; do convert cab_view.png cab_view.$x evince cab_view.$x done ``` For all of the formats listed above except for "tiff", evince reports "Unable to open document: …", and "File type … is not supported" So i've removed those image formats from the evince tab completion.

(edited to add: i also tried with graphicsmagick's
gm converttool, with the same results, except that graphicsmagick wasn't able to convert to.ico)
