Description David Rankin 2009-08-08 19:29:25 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Gwenview
Version 2.3.1
Using KDE 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 152"

Cropping a png image with qwenview results in a corrupt cropped image. The following are the original and the corrupt result created by a simple 'crop' and save-as with qwenview:

I've tried to crop that image with gwenview from current trunk, but the resulting image is correct :-)
Comment 5 David Rankin 2009-08-09 00:21:40 UTC
This is evidently an intermittent problem and may be a bug in qwenview's saving to smb shares or in qwenview's "save as" behavior after cropping. I have asked others to confirm the crop issue and a simple crop and saving to the same file works. However, I can reproduce the bug when I attempt a crop and then a "Save As". The corruption occurs using a "Save As" after a crop.

When the first corruption occurred I had taken a screenshot of the taskbar with ksnapshot and then used "open with" to open gwenview. The crop was performed by choosing "crop" and then grabbing the right-hand bounding box handles and dragging leftward to size the view I wanted and choosing "crop" from the pop-up below the selection. I then chose file "save as" and saved the file to a samba share. I don't know where the corruption was introduced, but I performed it twice to confirm - corrupted both times. I believe the "save as" corruption occurred because the original file was saved in /tmp/kde-david on the local machine and my "Save As" was to a smb share mounted under /mnt

I just took another screenshot of this bug report and cropped it and the smb save bug occurred again. I went through the same procedure outlined above and chose "save as" after the crop and entered "gwenview-bugreport.png" as the file name. To my surprise, the file was NOT saved under the name "gwenview-bugreport.png" but was saved under the name quicklaunch-zephyr-newksnapfull1.png (prior save name) in /tmp/kde-david -- WTF??

After selecting crop, you are presented with the black banner under the toolbar saying:

"Current image modified [Undo] [Redo]             [Save][Save All]"

see: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/gwenview-crop-save-01.png

Since I want to "Save As", I simply used "save as" from the file menu. I don't know whether that it where the bug is, but not saving in the name I specified is certainly not expected behavior.

For example if I now open gwenview-crop-save-01.png and just go to crop the text in the center and save it, then choose "crop", set the bounding box, choose "crop" to complete and then choose "save as" and save as gwenview-crop-save-02.png, the image is completely corrupted. See:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/gwenview-crop-save-02.png

I agree gwenview will correctly crop an image if saving back to the same file. This bug occurs when you crop then "Save As". Further, I don't know if it matters whether the save as "target" is on a smb share, but that was the case here. Let me know if you need more info. At least now we know how to reproduce it so it can be fixed.

Sorry, attaching the new corrupt image examples.

(P.S.: The linked files would be deleted, they're on my server and I am the only one with write access -- then again, I could have that careless moment of stupidity at the command line...)

File corrupted after:

(1) original image opened in gwenview
(2) crop -> set box -> crop -> choose "Save As"
(3) resulting png is corrupt.

FWIW

Should read

"The linked files would NOT be deleted.."

Two files, same crop from gwenview, 1 corrupt, 1 not. Needs investigation

Gwenview has been completely reinstalled and the corruption still occurs. In fact, I have produced 3 corrupt files in a row using this scenario. The latest:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/gwenview-crop-save-03.png

	Try this scenario and see if you still get a good crop:

(1) Grab a screenshot of a window in ksnapshot
(2) Choose "Open with" -> Gwenview
(3) Crop the image, after pressing the final "crop", choose "File" -> "Save As"
(4) Save to a smb share

	I tried saving the file with gwenview to my local disk and also saving it to the smb share. Both using the "File" -> "Save As" after a crop. When I save to the smb share, the corrupt image is about 250 bytes bigger than the good file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 david dcr 37489 2009-08-08 20:23 gwenview-crop-save-03.png  (corrupt)
-rw-r--r-- 1 david dcr 37231 2009-08-08 20:37 gwenview-crop-save-03.scp2server.png  (good)

	The file I saved locally and then scp'ed to the server is fine:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/gwenview-crop-save-03.scp2server.png

	This makes no sense at all. I have used the same server and same setup for years and saved thousands, if not tens of thousands, of files to the server without a single instance of corruption until this gwenview "Crop"; "File" -> "Save As" issue. Let me know. Thanks.
Comment 10 David Rankin 2009-08-09 06:48:45 UTC
Alright,

    I give up. It will take one of the coding masters to figure out what is going on here. I can reproduce the corruption every time by using the crop and file "save as" as described above. Others don't have this problem. I have captured this behavior with strace for gwenview and all child processes with:

strace -ff -o gwen.strace.txt gwenview

    I have compressed the file with xz to save space. The xz file is just a bit over 1M and contains:

gwen.strace.txt.23568
gwen.strace.txt.23569
gwen.strace.txt.23584
gwen.strace.txt.23585

WARNING: gwen.strace.txt.23568 will expand to > 400M, the remaining files are small.

A URL will have to do this time since bugs.kde.org won't allow attachments > 1024K. This one is 1241K:

I hope this helps
Comment 11 David Rankin 2009-08-09 08:46:52 UTC
Just FYI, I have confirmed this behavior on two separate openSuSE 11.0 installs. One i586 and one x86_64. I'll test with Archlinux and report back tomorrow.
Comment 12 Aurelien Gateau 2009-09-01 09:19:09 UTC
We need to determine whether it's cropping which cause a problem or save as or save as on smb. Can you try these:

1. Open an image from your hard disk, crop it, save it with "save", is it corrupted?

2. Open an image from your hard disk, do not modify it, save it with "save as" on your hard disk, is it corrupted?

3. Open an image from your hard disk, do not modify it, save it with "save as" on your smb share, is it corrupted?

Thanks for the time you spent on that bug.

I think the above commit fixes this bug.
If this is not the case i.e. this is not working in 4.6.1+ then please reopen this report.
