Description krienke 2006-11-06 08:24:14 UTC
Version:           0.9.0-svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.0 
OS:                Linux

I have a photo that first worked fine with dikikam. I did some editing on it, probably added a jpg comment to it in digikam which is stored inside the jpg. Now when digikam sees this file it crashes. Other tools like gwenview can however display it.

The debug info is:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Andreas,

And another one crash...

Comment 2 Andreas Huggel 2006-11-06 09:48:14 UTC
Finally one that looks comprehensible, at least the reading part.

Yes, I can reproduce the problem with the exiv2 utility and the image provided, will look into this.

Did you use any software other than digikam to edit the image? 
If not, how exactly did you edit it; can you re-create similarly corrupted images with digikam?

-ahu.

I used digikam to edit the jpg comment and digikamimageplugins to enhance 
contrast. Thats all I did. I have a lot of other photos I edited in the same 
way and there are no similar problems. I even have a copy of this photo with 
the comment already included on another host and this version does not cause 
a crash (the size in bytes of both is identical). And I am quite sure, that I 
did not change anything else for this photo since I copied it to the other 
host. But  since I had quite a lot of digikam crashes (possibly the 
hyperthreading bug) when I worked on the photos of my holidays (of which 
dsc_3393.jpg is one) I guess that one of this crashes must have corrupted the 
photo in question.  Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this problem, but 
anyway digikam should not crash when trying to extract the metadata of such a 
jpg even if the data contained in it are corrupt.

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2006-11-06 10:17:43 UTC
I'm agree with you krienke, but the crash come from the Exiv2 shared library, not digiKam core directly (no blame here Andreas (:=)))....

In fact, an exception must be generated by Exiv2 to prevent crash. This exception will be get by digiKam (the source code is already done in this way...

Sure, I also agree. I'll fix exiv2 as mentioned above. But I'm more worried if there is another, bigger problem here, which leads to images with corrupted metadata.

Comment 6 Andreas Huggel 2006-11-06 16:52:24 UTC
Exiv2 svn rev. 943 implements a quick fix (not a real solution). An exception is thrown now. 

-ahu.
Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2006-11-06 18:22:05 UTC
krienke,

please try to use current svn implementation of Exiv2 and recompile digiKam & co. Thanks in advance

Note : take you sure to uninstall the old version of Exiv2 before to install new one.

Gilles
Comment 8 Andreas Huggel 2006-11-07 02:38:55 UTC
Gilles,

This one is straightforward, it is not related to the other crashes: The metadata in the image provided by krienke is corrupted and exiv2 < rev 943 chokes on it. To test, take the image from the link provided in the bug report and try with exiv2 < rev 943 to reproduce it and >= rev 943 to confirm that it's gone.

With the new svn version of exiv2 from Andreas digikam does no longer crash 
and I can also assign e.g. a comment to the jpg that caused the crash.

Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2006-12-12 14:02:43 UTC
krienke, 

Sound like this file is solved with Exiv2 0.12 release. I close this file now.
