GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318081
Error when smoothing and jpeg are selected
Last modified: 2008-01-15 13:01:22 UTC
Version details: Just says 2.2 on the about dialog... there is a dark picture there hiding the actual version in black Distribution/Version: XP Save an image as a jpeg and select 4:2:2 sampling and then raise the smoothing. You get a bunch of error dialogs. This then locks up the program for me and I have to kill the process, losing any work that I did not save. What I expect to happen is, since you can't use smoothing with the uneven sampling, the slider should be inactive, so you cannot slide it and get an error dialog for each level from 1 to 100. This is the windows 2.2 version.
Definitely doesn't lock up the program, it only sends a couple of messages to sdterr. Lowering severity to minor.
I only get one message here - in a nice dialog box directly from libjpeg, it seems. No lock up, either. Sounds like an enhancement request for the JPEG plug-in - it probably shouldn't try smoothing in this case and disable the controls if used interactively.
Fixed in CVS. I don't see any point in backporting this change to 2.2. Closing as FIXED. 2005-10-06 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * plug-ins/jpeg/jpeg-save.c: can't use smoothing with nonstandard sampling ratios. Set the slider sensitivity accordingly (bug #318081).
