Unable to load PDF files in dotnet core 2.1 projects using libvips 8.6.5 (global installation) and NetVips 1.0.4 about net-vips HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello, I was able to reproduce this. It looks like <UseGlobalLibvips>true</UseGlobalLibvips> is ignored by .NET Core 2.1. I will investigate this further. As a workaround, I can recommend to exclude the native NuGet directory, like this:

--- ConsoleApp.csproj
+++ ConsoleApp.csproj
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
   </PropertyGroup>
 
   <ItemGroup>
-    <PackageReference Include="NetVips" Version="1.0.4" />
+    <PackageReference Include="NetVips" Version="1.0.4" ExcludeAssets="native" />
   </ItemGroup>
 
   <ItemGroup>

By the way,
You should not call Base.VipsInit(); in your own program. It is already called by the ModuleInitializer once the assembly is loaded. Hopefully clarified with 66aff77.

Thank you very much, this did the trick: Setting ExcludeAssets="native" worked.

And thank you for the hint with Base.VispInit();.

I've just released NetVips 1.0.5 which includes a fix for this. The ExcludeAssets="native" workaround isn't needed anymore.
