I never had a problem loading JPGs. Pehaps you have a faulty instalation.

Do you get any error messages? Can you make one such file avaliable to us?

Could you give more details about what you mean by "gimp will not load them". For instance, does gimp display any error message (in a pop-up window) ? If not, can you open in in a console (e.g. "xterm" on unices or "command window" in windows). Do you see any error messages there ? Also, can you try with a stable version of gimp, preferably the latest, 2.2.8 and does it work ?

Best regards,

Olivier.

Gary,

Your file loads perfectly on my Gimp 2.2.8 on Windows at work. I will try it tonight on my self-compiled gimps at home on Mandriva LE2005.

Sincerely,

Olivier.

Gary,

It seems you bug is with Mandriva 2006. Could you check if this bug from their database: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19273 correspond to what you observe. If so, please add a comment to the bug so they can see that at least 3 persons confirm it.

Sincerely,

Olivier.

Does Gimp have a plugin I could use to download from the camera?

Gimp does preview the jpg when I access the file. It just won't load.

Gary

Gary, the file you sent opened with no problems no my version of Gimp (2.2.8 from a Debian package). I guess there is a problem with your version of Gimp (or something it uses).

I confirm your image loads perfectly on a Mandriva LE 2005 under both gimp 2.2.8 and 2.3.4.

I found the problem:

Mandriva 2006 is packaging a "ufraw-gimp" plug-in and it is trying to open these jpegs, instead of the normal jpeg plugin.

The ufraw-gimp plug-in is hanging.

I just saw it, and could not see if it is part of some "gimp-extras" package, or come inside the main gimppackage itself.

Gary: however an easy workaround is just disabling the ufraw-gimp plug-in.

Quit the GIMP, type as root:

chmod 644 /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ufraw-gimp

- restart the GIMP, and voilá - you are able to open these jpegs once more.

Now - to open a completely unrelated bug on Mandriva's bugzilla.

(BTW, the files opened allright in the CVS GIMP I've compiled in the same system, so it is not related to exif libraries or whatever)
