Imagine (Lister plugin for viewing img files) v. 1.5.3 (May 21 2024)

[beb]

Looks as though, nyam, the Imagine author, is migrating to GitHub, where all the stuff (the app itself, plugins, etc.) becomes available to download [instead of the original site]:

when i try to download the files using chrome/firefox i get this message:
"this file is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous".

why is that ?

That's normal while not many users have already downloaded that file.
Ignore it and let it go on with the download.

Here you can find test TIFF files
https://www.leadtools.com/support/forum/posts/t10960-
https://www.upload.ee/files/15739320/samples_TIFF.zip.html (copy of the TIFFs and their descriptions)

The file "MultipleFormats.tif" causes Imagine to crash (both exe and wlx). IrfanView does not crash. Please, check this.

The file "MultipleFormats.tif" causes Imagine to crash (both exe and wlx).

I can confirm that MultipleFormats.tif crashes Imagine 64bit, but NOT Imagine 32bit.

I can open MultipleFormats.tif with IrfanView, XnView and XnView MP, but they all have problems showing some of the pages (page 3 and 5).

The PhotoWiewer plugin (64bit and 32bit) can show the first page, and so can the 32bit SGViewer and ImgView plugins.

The slister plugin (64bit and 32bit) shows all pages in the same Lister window.

The Windows' Photos App can only show the first page of both MultipleFormats.tif and Multi_page24bpp.tif

Windows Photo Viewer can not show MultipleFormats.tif, but shows all pages of Multi_page24bpp.tif

WebP plugin 32-bit doesn't work in Imagine 1.2.0 if all other plugins are installed.
Works if installed alone.

Really strange - it seems works with maximum 16 plugins installed - when add 17's it doesn't and WebP affected by accidence - it's just last by alphabetical order, when renamed, another one, last by alphabetical order, doesn't works.

WebP plugin 32-bit doesn't work in Imagine 1.2.0 if all other plugins are installed.

Not confirmed here - tested with both 32bit and 64bit Imagine with Webp plugin v. 0.1.1

Really strange - it seems works with maximum 16 plugins installed

I only have 16 plugins - and that's what is available at http://www.nyam.pe.kr/dev/imagine/#download

Which is your plugin no. 17 (that is not present at http://www.nyam.pe.kr/dev/imagine/#download)?

Do you still have the old third party BPG plugin installed?


These are the plugin files I have installed:

Archive\Archive.plg
DCRaw\DCRaw.plg
JBIG\JBIG.plg
WebP\WebP.plg
7Z.plg
ALZ.plg
AVIF.plg
BPG.plg
HDPhoto.plg
HEIF.plg
HV3.plg
JPEG2000.plg
JPEGXL.plg
OpenEXR.plg
RAR.plg
SVG.plg

Did you read second part? You need at least 17 plugins for the bug to occur.

There is also IPS.plg in Plugin_SDK.

Can second this.
64-bit is not affected though.
NB Imagine plugins in folder (32/64 bit):
7Z; ALZ; Archive; AVIF; BPG; DCRaw; HDPhoto; HEIF; HV3; IPS; JBIG; JPEG2000; JPEGXL; OpenEXR; RAR; SVG; WebP.

[petermad]

There is also IPS.plg in Plugin_SDK.

Thanks - after adding IPS.plg64 / IPS.plg I can confirm that Imagine stops showing webp files. Here it is both in 64bit and 32bit Imagine under windows 7 and only 32bit Imagine on Windows 10 that is affected.

Imagine_Plugin_HEIF_0.0.3.zip is suspicious: "23 security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious"

The x64 version Imagine_Plugin_HEIF_0.0.3_x64.zip is clean.

Imagine and its plugins use UPX packer (pre-2012 plugins use MPRESS)
On certain low-end systems (especially most systems with Windows Defender), real-time scanning causes very slow lister(F3) initialization, causing several seconds of lag or unresponsiveness.
I initially thought it was a problem with total commander, but then realized that Imagine was the culprit, and I'm using it after unpacking UPX.
Anyway, I uploaded the UPX unpacked plugin files to VirtusTotal to check.

HEIF.plg64 (clean)

HEIF.plg (only one AV misdiagnosed. However, the original UPX packed file was quarantined because Windows Defender misdiagnosed HEIF.plg as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml)
