Cannot open jpeg from camera

Hello,

When I try to open jpeg images from my olympus stylus 400, a box pops up saying:

Opening failed:
Plug-In could not open image

Every other image program that I have tried does not have a problem with these images. Strangely, gimp even shows them correctly in the preview on the open dialog. :S

Does anyone know anything about this? I uploaded an image here: http://www.zippyimages.com/files/64530/p6130166.jpg

Thanks in advance for any help, Matthew Marshall

There's nothing strange about this. It only means that another application created a preview for this image and stored it according to the Thumbnail Managing standard. Since GIMP also implements this standard it can find the preview w/o having to generate it itself.

Does anyone know anything about this? I uploaded an image here: http://www.zippyimages.com/files/64530/p6130166.jpg

The file opens fine here so it's most probably not a GIMP problem but a bug in your version of libjpeg.

You didn't give enough information about your system for me to be sure, but I bet you are seeing the bug described by the following two URLs (which also tell you what to do about it):

http://gug.sunsite.dk/forum/?threadid=2009

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142252

Basically it is a problem with the library called libexif in some recent SuSE OS's, and the solution is to replace libexif.

Best, -- Bill

Thanks!

I am using SUSE 9.1, so it seems that was my problem. I just downloaded the fedora libexif rpm, and after a quick install with yast it worked!

Thanks again,

Matthew Marshall
