[GUG] IE chokes on Gimp-created jpegs

Hi!

I am forwarding this to the gimp-user list.

Hi. I'm new to the group, although I've been using Gimp for a while.

I need some information about a bug I've found. Images I've created on Gimp 1.2.4 for Windows and saved as jpegs hang MSIE when downloading from a web server. The problem is the same as what is being described here:
http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=003j8d about Photoshop 7 images. I resaved the images as gifs and the problem disappears, but the file sizes are about 5x larger.

Has anyone found/reported this bug? Is there any way to tell Gimp not to send the information that chokes IE? Is the problem fixed in 1.3.20?

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Keith

[GUG] IE chokes on Gimp-created jpegs

Hi,

Without looking too closely at this, it doesn't seem like the same issue. The only thing we add to jpegs now that we didn't before (or rather, that we don't remove, whereas we did before) is an exif header.

This doesn't seem to break on IE 6 for me. An XML type header implies more something like IPTC or XMP, which the GIMP doesn't do.

Also the fact that this is in the GIMP 1.2.4 and later implies more funny stuff - between 1.2.3 and 1.2.4, the jpeg plug-in only changed 4 times, and in each of those changes, there were only very small changes which don't affect the data written to the file at all.

Perhaps the jpeg plug-in on Win32 got more of a going over, though...

In any case, I will commit a patch this evening to allow you to throw away exif data, even if it's present. Just in case that'll help.

Cheers,
Dave.

My gut instinct is to throw out IE.

:) Not always an option, unfortunately.

Would it be possible to get a jpeg that does this to IE 6 so that I can have a look at it?

Cheers, Dave.
