MC27 fails to open some images
« on: November 22, 2020, 10:19:40 am »

After import I found some missing Thumbnails (red camera symbol).
Trying to open displays a gray screen "Failed to load ..."
Locate on disx (external) finds the file. And the image loads fine with paint.
The image left and right to the missing one, taken with the same camera, are displayed correct.

The log does not show an attempt to read the file. Therefore the content of the file cannot be the reason for the failure. Correct ?

I reported a similar problem last week. For me, MC was unable to show the image file, whilst all other jpg handlers on my PC would do as asked.

Using the rather good, and free for home use, XnView MP (https://www.xnview.com/en/), it reported xmp errors.
Hopefully, for the last time, I have been feeding my photo backup DVDs into the drive and getting MC to build thumbnails for them. There are many that won't build.

For those that won't build, MC is also unable to open the file for display.
All other image handlers here can, and do, open them for display and thumbnailing.

XnViewMP allows for close scrutiny, and includes EXIFTool, which, as well as displaying all the info, reports the following:
Quote
ExifTool Version Number     12.05   
Warning     XMP format error (no closing tag for x:xmpmeta)   
Warning     [minor] Empty XMP   

After removing the tags, MC was then able to open the image file.

-marko.

Tagging was done with MC25. MC25 also reads this image with no problem.

I reversed the migration to MC27. Too many images are affected by this problem. So I'm still sticking with MC25.

Has JRiver recognized the problem? Shall I provide sample images?

I bumped my post in the beta board that has an example link for download.
