Irrelevant to this discussion, as it's jpeg2000 not jpeg. With a short glance at their webpage, it doesn't seem like it accepts regular jpeg at all.

And it's thoroughly disgusting: his words: # FILE FORMAT WARS # ================ # # The ISO JPEG standards committee actually promotes different formats like # "JPEG 2000" or "JPEG XR" which are incompatible with original DCT-based # JPEG and which are based on faulty technologies. IJG therefore does not # and will not support such momentary mistakes (see REFERENCES). # We have little or no sympathy for the promotion of these formats. Indeed, # one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help # force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files. # Don't use an incompatible file format! So, with royal "we", this guy disparages a new format which: * doesn't pretent to be regular jpeg * doesn't use .jpg or image/jpeg * is an official ISO standard * has some use in the wild yet he does introduce incompatibilities himself, without meeting any of the above. -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
