Package: gqview Version: 2.0.4-1 Severity: normal
When you change a file within a directory that gqview is looking at, occasionally gqview will put up a "broken image". Presumably, this happens when gqview looks at the image while it is still in the process of being written. This is OK, as far as it goes. However, sometimes (maybe 10% or 20% of the time that the above happens) gqview somehow misses the fact that the write has completed. The "broken image" stays on the screen, even though the underlying file is correct. This is a bug. I see this happening when editing jpeg images with the GIMP, and also occasionally when rotating images by 90 degrees with jpegtran. So, presumably, there is some race condition between checking to see if the image has been modified and reading it in. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gqview depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-5 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio Versions of packages gqview recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-14 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
