GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 301092
Plug-In crashed: "jpeg.exe"
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:52:33 UTC
Version details: WinGIMP Distribution/Version: Windows XP Home Edition file -> open image as layer click once on a .jpg file and gimp says "creating preview.." microsoft error catches "jpeg.exe" has encountered a problem and needs to close. Gimp Message: Plug-In crashed: "jpeg.exe" (C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\jpeg.exe) The dying Plug-In may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. ----- doesn't allow .jpg files to be opened either. this only happens with SOME of my .jpg files. The files that GIMP has trouble with are larger, +400k or bigger. When I put my mouse over the .jpg files and get file info.... I noticed the files that GIMP can not open contain extra information, like the date the file was "taken" an the type of camera it was taken with. Non-problematic .jpg files do not contain this extra information. To me this suggests some kind file format difference.
Would be really nice if people did search a while before filing duplicate bugs... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 300186 ***
