[Bug 350040] Re: Image viewer will not read .bmp images
Just made the leap to Linux with Ubuntu 18.04 and am experiencing this "bug" also. My error was specifically as @cometdog mentioned with a BMP extension with a PNG file signature (and data). I can think of a lot of ways an image would have an incorrect extension. It would be great if eog could do one (or more) of the following: 1. Open the image with a list of known (popular) image file signatures if it finds 'bogus header data'. 2. Warn the user that the image has a mismatching file signature and extension and suggest a correction. If both of the above are not possible (or painful to implement) then I suggest the following: Show the file signature along with the 'bogus header data' error message as this would also immediately point to the issue without promising that is the solution. e.g. BMP image has bogus header data (file signature: ".PNG") or even a more details button that shows this info would suffice IMO. (apologies if this is in the wrong place, I realize it is an old report but I made an account solely for this and this is where I found my solution via google). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350040 Title: Image viewer will not read .bmp images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/350040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This happens to me with some files that have the mime type image/png but have a .bmp extension. Not sure how the files ended up that way to begin with, but I suppose that's beside the point. In that particular use case, then it is useful to have a pointer here to https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/172416 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350040 Title: Image viewer will not read .bmp images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/350040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So far it's not been a problem with Jaunty. As I stated in a previous post, I'm not completely sure what caused it in the first place as it seemed to be a completely random occurrence. If it happens with Jaunty I'll post immediately with all information available to me. It took a few months before the problem showed on Intrepid so I wouldn't expect it to occur immediately on Jaunty. -- Image viewer will not read .bmp images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

could you try on jaunty and add a bmp example to the bug if that's still an issue? -- Image viewer will not read .bmp images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 350040] Re: Image viewer will not read .bmp images
I'm still not completely sure what happened. It may be reproducible but so far, I've yet to get the ability to view .bmp images back through image viewer so I'm not sure if I could make it do this again. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.10, fully patched with all updates. As stated above, this happened after I highlighted a large number (30+) of .bmp images, I inadvertantly right clicked and released as my mouse buttons have a hair trigger. I think it chose the first option which is to open the images. That's all I know besides the fact that it will now not recognize .bmp image header data. I will include a screenshot of the error. As stated before, other image viewing programs such as the Gimp and F-Spot have not been effected. ** Attachment added: image viewer.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24459813/image%20viewer.png -- Image viewer will not read .bmp images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
