#8778: Poor handling of very large JPEG images in Backgrounds preferences. ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: jstressman | Owner: korli Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/Backgrounds | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by jstressman): Tried it with the TIFF version of the image ( 270.76MB )... first I tried loading it in ShowImage and it said there wasn't an available translator or something for it... so I loaded the smaller TIFF of the same image ( 5788x2000, 33.13MB ) and that loaded fine. Then I tried loading the full size TIFF again and it loaded as a 1x1 pixel image in ShowImage... So then I tried loading it as a background... at that point everything went terribly wrong. A debugger flashed up on the screen and took down part of the system... so you could still navigate workspaces by clicking on the WorkSpaces app, but keyboard navigation didn't work... Deskbar and Tracker didn't work... you could still move and focus windows etc... but when you tried to type, only some letters showed up in a box on the left side of the screen... I ended up having to hard reset the machine. :/ -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8778#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
