Description Alexander van Loon 2006-08-03 14:20:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
www.svanloon.nl/reflex_layout.tar.gz

This is an archive of a few images I have trouble with. Not sure if this actually is a bug in EOG or if the files are corrupt or something else is going on, but I hope others can try to open these files in EOG and see if it works for them.

I can view all of these images in EOG, except for floor.tga, wall.tga and lift.tga When I try to open them with EOG, I notice some loading, and then nothing happens. I can view them fine with GIMP though.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I can confirm that. Additionally ceiling.tga doesn't work either here.
But this could be a problem with GdkPixbuf as nautilus' thumbnailing doesn't work either (unless you load the file in GIMP which sets the thumbnail).
Comment 2 Felix Riemann 2006-08-30 19:29:06 UTC 
Thats the GError set by GdkPixbuf when loading ceiling.tga:
 Failed to load image './ceiling.tga': Excess data in file
Comment 3 Felix Riemann 2006-12-26 20:43:44 UTC 
I am moving this over to gdk-pixbuf since if it is really a bug it is in the TGA loader.
But I am having the feeling that your TGA files are not really sane (they carry two TGA footers). So the "bug" might actually become a request to recognize and workaround such files.

collection of tga files

I uploaded this as an attachment here, I'm cleaning up my FTP server a bit.

Felix, you mentioned that the TGA files might not be 100% sane, but if they are not, how come GIMP can open them all, and only gdk-pixbuf has difficulties with it?

Sorry, I forgot to respond so long.

It is always a matter of how sensitive you are to such issues. If you know there are common problems with certain files (and you decide to support them) you can implement a workaround for them. So, I guess GIMP already has a workaround (if there is one) for this or reads TGA files differently so it doesn't expose this problem.

Of course it is also possible that I misunderstood the TGA specs and your files are fine.

All those display fine now.
