plugin "jpeg.exe" crashes
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:58:53 UTC
Distribution/Version: XP The plugin "jpeg.exe" crashes when i try to open some of my JPG files. (/GIMP-2/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/jpeg.exe) For example this image: http://wenner.ch/files/tmp/clip_image001.jpg Other Grafic Software (like photoshop) dont have any problems with these images.
Unreproducible on Debian sid. You *sure* you're using the lastest 2.2.8 and not some order version?
Yes I'm *sure*, I'm using Gimp (german) version 2.2.8 with GTK+ 2.6.8-1 on Windows XP (SP2). No additional plugins are installed. Gimp can't even display the preview image of that file and jpeg.exe crashes when I try to open it.
This can be confirmed with libexif 0.6.12 (using a build which has been unaffected by the known bugs until know). So I guess this is a new (or yet undetected) bug. I didn't check if it is already fixed in libexif CVS.
Removing NEEDINFO because requested info has been provided by the bug reporter.
A stack trace shows the following:
+ Trace 62588
This indicates that the plug-in crashes while libexif is trying to handle the Maker Note. Since Maker Notes are model-specific, this specific crash would only occur for images from Canon cameras, and maybe not for all models of those.
Since there is really nothing that can be done about this except either to fix libexif (which is out of our hands) or to rewrite the jpeg plug-in so that it does not use libexif (which may happen in the development branch but certainly won't in the stable branch), I am going to resolve this as NOTGNOME. It would be great if you could go on to file a bug report against libexif, pointing to this bug report as a reference.
