I am using Gimp 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Linux. We have recently started using Gimp. We have to edit many (thousands) of TIF image files originally created with Photoshop 5.0.2 or 5.5.x on Windows.
These files open just fine in Gimp, though Gimp does not seem to utilize the embedded preview image that Photoshop created (that would be helpful). However, _every_ time such a file is opened for the first time (until it has been modified in Gimp), we get an error message window with multiple error messages: ====== Window Title: GIMP Message TIFF image Message incorrect count for field "MinSampleValue" (1, expecting 3): tag ignored TIFF image Message incorrect count for field "MaxSampleValue" (1, expecting 3): tag ignored TIFF image Message incorrect count for field "MinSampleValue" (1, expecting 3): tag ignored Too many error messages! Messages are redirected to stderr. ====== Then, in stderr (the terminal window from which I started Gimp), I get one more that would not fit in the above message window: dcraw -i '/q/images/jsa/source/Topics/Slania/Monaco/Proofs/085_127791.tif' Cannot decode file /q/images/jsa/source/Topics/Slania/Monaco/Proofs/085_127791.tif TIFF image: incorrect count for field "MaxSampleValue" (1, expecting 3); tag ignored ==== How can I tell Gimp to suppress reporting such errors and/or direct all such errors to stderr instead of Gimp opening up a "GIMP Message" window that has to be dismissed every darn time I open one of these old image files? Also, a minor irritant: The "GIMP Message" window is not shown in the various lists of windows in my desktop's task bar. My desktop is KDE 3.5.10. Thus if I don't dismiss each such window as they come up, they end up hanging around under other windows and one could easily end up with lots and lots of them present. And I can't get at them by using the task bar lists.
