Manufacturers simply aren't going to fix their firmware, particularly for older devices (read: are already on the market). And it's possible that a firmware fix wouldn't even be enough, since printers would need more memory to buffer the entire image rather than just reconstituting it one row of blocks at a time. There's also the added testing expense. Phones and cameras don't generate progressive JPEGs, so printer, TV, etc. manufacturers don't have any real incentive to support them. The manufacturers probably don't even write their own firmware; they contract it out. Progressive JPEGs are nice for displaying big images in browsers over slow links (which my 1500/368 DSL qualifies as). I admit that they're easier for me in that context. But given the confusion this is causing, and that it requires non-trivial knowledge (and tools) for people to fix after the fact, I'd argue that this should be revisited. > ________________________________________ > From: gimp-developer-list <gimp-developer-list-boun...@gnome.org> on behalf > of Michael Schumacher <schum...@gmx.de> > Sent: 31 January 2016 20:31 > To: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org > Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] Problems with JPG?! > > Am 31.01.2016 um 16:29 schrieb Stefan Rohde: > >> I can not display images that I have prepared and saved with GIMP 2.8.14 >> (under Windows 10) in jpg-format on my TV or via a digital box (WD TV). > >> Do you have an idea or information !? > > It's most likely the Progressive option in the advanced part of the JPEG > export dialog. -- Robert Krawitz <r...@alum.mit.edu> *** MIT Engineers A Proud Tradition http://mitathletics.com *** Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- http://ProgFree.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
