Bug Description

When exporting the selected photos to a local web gallery (Export to Folder, Create standalone web gallery), F-Spot creates the correct folder structure and html files, but it fails to generate thumbnails. Instead of thumbnails, in the directory "thumbs" I get empty files with the correct name.

If launching the application from a shell, I get the following output:

(f-spot:10805): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Bad option name 'P\xc1l' passed to JPEG saver

(f-spot:10805): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_savev: assertion `error == NULL || *error != NULL' failed

for each failed thumbnail.

The photos are in their original folder, I added them to the collection without copying to f-spot's folder. The path and the file names do not contain spaces nor other "problematic" characters :-)

I am running on the latest Dapper, AMD64.

If you are running edgy now, would you be able to test out 0.2.0-1ubuntu1? It has a number of fixes for exporting images.

 Unfortunately, I am sticking to dapper at the moment... If I switch to
edgy, I will test the new package and report as soon as possible :-)

Tested 0.2.0-1ubuntu1 on edgy: unfortunately, the problem is still there :-)

Same shell output, same failure to generate thumbnails (although there are empty files with the correct name in the correct directory, as I wrote before).

Thanks, would you be able to attach or send me a sample image that fail to export?

Unfortunately, I switched to the i386 architecture and am no longer able to provide further information on this bug (as it doesn't affect the i386 architecture, from my simple tests).

However, before switching - for other reasons not related to this bug, obviously - I tested the gallery export with a lot of photos from my personal collection, and none of them was exported correctly to a html gallery (due to the failing thumbnail generation). I am attaching one for reference.

Thank you :-)

Since ajmitch asked on irc, here's what I see for every image that f-spot attempts to export:

open uri = file:///photos/2007-01-15--12.56.11/IMG_0766.JPG

Only the "Bad option name" garbage changes. Of note, the string @\xf2\xa3 does exist in this file. Seems like bad math somewhere...
