OK the original trigger file is OK now and uses a similar amount of memory to load.
I guess it would be more appropriate to say that there's nothing to stop eog loading a file that's impracticably large, and a refinement would be to do a rough calculation of the memory requirement and ask the user to confirm they want to open it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828720 Title: eog (Ubuntu image viewer) consumes all memory when opening a tiff file Status in eog package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The ImageViewer app (/usr/bin/eog) will go into a loop if a TIFF files are opened. Any TIFF file can cause a loop even if less than 1MB in size, so it seems that the program is encountering an internal issue with the TIFF format. The loop quickly consumes all free memory and locks up the machine (I do not have any swap). Steps to reproduce: * open any TIFF file using ImageViewer, the default image file handler.
