Description Miron Cristea 2012-05-06 14:52:05 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"? :(
Comment 1 Felix Riemann 2012-05-12 10:19:02 UTC
Odd, will have to grep around a bit to see which library is throwing this error message (doesn't appear to be eog).
Comment 2 Felix Riemann 2012-06-01 19:30:06 UTC
Okay, the message is from libjpeg-turbo, but I cannot reproduce it here.
Hmm, wonder what's wrong here.

What distro do you use?
Comment 3 Miron Cristea 2012-06-02 03:58:13 UTC
Distro? I already specified I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Comment 4 Felix Riemann 2012-06-08 17:02:53 UTC
(Hmm, this got unconfirmed again?! Reclosing this!)

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

    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.
