This bug has been filled here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/154920 "Some files are open correctly by eog 2.20.0 some not. No messages displayed to the end user." "if you open it from the menu it show the size of the image but not the image itself." The image: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10081913/Whuuuum.jpg
Confirming. EOG seems to choke on that unknown APP1 marker in the file. In the end this effectively skips window realization again.
I committed a patch to trunk and gnome-2-20. APP1 markers with unknown content are skipped now. Otherwise the metadata reader would not reach it's finished state which prevents the window realization when autorotation is enabled. 2007-10-21 Felix Riemann <> * src/eog-metadata-reader.c: (eog_metadata_reader_consume): Simply skip APP1 markers with unknown content in JPEG files. This makes such files work as first image again. Fixes bug #488808. --- This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
