GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 675569
Refuses to save file after horizontal flip: "Maximum supported image dimension is 65500 pixels"
Last modified: 2012-06-08 17:02:53 UTC
Error message is: Error interpreting JPEG image file: eog-save-MOKTDW Maximum supported image dimension is 65500 pixels The picture is 900 x 602 pixels. After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I got this. Never happened before. Is this a new "feature"? :(
Odd, will have to grep around a bit to see which library is throwing this error message (doesn't appear to be eog).
Okay, the message is from libjpeg-turbo, but I cannot reproduce it here. Hmm, wonder what's wrong here. What distro do you use?
Distro? I already specified I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(Hmm, this got unconfirmed again?! Reclosing this!) (In reply to comment #3) > Distro? I already specified I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Kinda skipped that. Sorry! :) Googling for the error message led me to this Launchpad report about the problem with a patch attached: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/960967 With the image attached there I was finally able to reproduce it in a Ubuntu VM and I understand now why it worked on my machine and with other pictures (even in the VM). As the attached patch fixes the problem I pulled it in: commit 11f05ec911b4208faa8f00ecd9f4830ca39fcb25 Author: Tom Gall <> Date: Sun Jun 3 14:26:31 2012 +0200 Fix saving transformed JPEG images that don't transform perfectly This could lead to a crash or break saving of these files with a message about the image exceeding the maximum image dimensions for saving. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675569 --- This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
