Bug 309251 – media-gfx/gthumb-2.11.2.1: cannot rotate attached JPEG images anymore

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gerhard Hintermayer 2010-03-13 12:08:21 UTC]

when trying to rotate a JPEG file ([] keys) i do get an error:
Could not perform the operation
Error interpreting JPEG image
Bogus virtual array access.
This version of gthumb seems to break a lot features :-(

Can you attach offending image? What jpeg version do you have installed? Did you followed instructions when update from jpeg-7 to 8? Have you tried with media-libs/jpeg-8a?

Using jpeg-8. Followed all instructions when ugrading from jpeg-7. Image is any from my Casio EX-Z100. I'm not quite sure if the jpeg-8 upgrade broke this, or the recent gthumb upgrade, I'll downgrade gthumb this weekend to see if this works with the previous version of gthumb.

I am unable to reproduce with my jpg files :-|

Created attachment 223435 [details]
sample image that generates error message when trying to rotate

not very sharp, but only an example ;-)

Downgraded to gtumb-2.10.11. Slideshow present, Jpeg rotation produces no error, but does'nt change the image - very strange, nevertheless preview in rotating dialog works.

Can I run any tests/debugging  to move this forward ?

The fix should come from upstream :-/, but they are probably too busy just now :-(
