Comment 1 Raphaël Quinet 2006-08-07 09:16:05 UTC 
Could you or the original reporter attach a test image to this bug report?

If you want to save some space or if you do not want to reveal the full contents of the image, then a copy of the embedded XMP packet may be sufficient.  It is XML/RDF, so it may even be possible to extract it from the image using a simple text editor.
Comment 2 Raphaël Quinet 2007-08-29 19:22:23 UTC 
This bug is more than a year old and refers to an old development version.  I hope that I have fixed the bug in the meantime, but it would still be useful to have the test image that I requested.
Comment 3 Ari Pollak 2007-08-29 22:00:47 UTC 
Unfortunately I never received one after asking the submitter, so I have no way of testing it either.
Comment 4 Raphaël Quinet 2007-08-30 09:41:46 UTC 
Maybe the submitter will react to your recent addition to the Debian bug report?  If there is no reaction within a few days, then I will probably have to close this bug report.
Comment 5 Ari Pollak 2007-08-30 15:17:21 UTC 
That's fine, I doubt I'll get a response anyway.
Comment 6 Raphaël Quinet 2007-09-06 12:10:45 UTC 
Unfortunately, the original submitter never supplied the requested image => closing.
