[Bug 78301] gthumb deletes JPG picture failing to save changes

[Joakim Larsson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gthumb

The story about how I started using gthumb to organize some hundreds of
scanned pictures in JPG format.

My workflow: I used the Image->Enhance menu choice to each just to get a
common level of quality and then pressed the "next" button and then the
enter key four times for each picture. I am sure there are better
softwares for batch modifying of pictures but I have had no time
exploring my options right now but I am also sure gthumb can be the tool
of choice in the future it has all parts required.

Anyway, a couple of times when pressing the next button just before the
scanner finished saving the next picture made gthumb complain about
unknown picture type refusing to view it even after the scanner was
finished. Retrying pressing the Next button didnät help. gthumb didn't
crash but I had to restart it to have it accept the newly scanned
picture.

Now this is just annoying but when it also happens when going through
all pictures as desrcibed in the workflow above resulting a zero size
file it not accepatable. Luckily enough I burnt the original pictures on
a CD before starting the workflow.

I don't have a crash log since it didn't crash, all I got was a dialog
saying something like unknown picture type with some garbage data as the
type. I use a fully updated Dapper on a Pentium D machine and the 2.7.6
version of Gthumb
