Bug Description

When I try to open a 'jpg' image with image viewer, I get the following error:

[quote]Could not load image 'tux.jpg'.

Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50)[/quote]

I am using an up-to-date Hardy...could this be the reason why the current appearance > add background feature is broken?

Cheers

Matt

I can open the file in XP, but not Hardy. Here is tux.jpg:

It's a PNG image, incorrectly named. When renamed to "tux", and then back to "tux.jpg" again, eog will open it without complaining. I'll search for the possible reasons of this behaviour in the upstream bug tracker and elsewhere. This probably qualifies as a duplicate of bug #172416.
