[TC 8.0b17 x32]Lister doesn't show all jpegs

[Usher]

Lister still doesn't show all jpegs properly via GDIplus, sample is linked here.
It is blank in Lister, but it's viewed OK in IrfanView.

[MVV]

Cannot confirm. Tested with TC8x[32/64]b17a, Win7x64Pro, with clean INI. Both show this sample image correctly.

[ghisler(Author)]

Not confirmed either (tried it with Windows 7 and Windows XP mode). Maybe some older GDI+ version cannot handle it? Which Windows version do you use?

[petermad]

Not confirmed either (tried it with Windows 7 and Windows XP mode)

Same here.

[ghisler(Author)]

I see - so without more details, I cannot reproduce and fix this error, sorry.

[petermad]

Just to clarify: I canNOT reproduce the bug either.

[dindog]

does this GDIplus support Unicode? and the filename contains some non-ascii character?
If both of the above are true, you can't read that image

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, it supports Unicode.

Usher's observation confirmed here!

I downloaded the original file Usher linked to and opened it in Lister with F3. Lister opened blank - the file showed up after refreshing with F2, though.
It is likely to depend on this particular file code:
When I open the file in Irfanview and save it there, this saved file can then be opened in TC Lister normally - without having to refresh.
This is reproduceable - (but not tried with fresh ini yet)

Edit: Tried it with fresh ini - just the same

I tested again. I can now reproduce the bug as described by Klaus S but only under Windows XP 32bit, not under Windows 7 x64.

My Windows XP is SP3 with all later Windows updates installed - so if there is a newer GDI+, it is not provided by Microsoft/Windows Update. Where can the GDI+ version be seen?

[Gral]

I can confirm this bug too.
When viewed in "normal window" mode and then maximized, part of image is visible on "additional" area, while initial area is still blank.

...Where can the GDI+ version be seen?

Probably on GDIPLUS.DLL version info...

BTW - my version - 5.1.3102.2180

[umbra]

Well, the latest GDI+ for WinXP has version 5.2.6001.22290. You can download it here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958911 . They have partially rewritten its parser (because of poor security of the old one), so maybe it will help.

[petermad]

Probably on GDIPLUS.DLL version info..

But which gdiplus.dll ?

I have one in %ProgramFiles%/\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ which is version 11.0.8312.0

Then I have several gdiplus.dll files in subdirs to: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\ where the newest is C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.0.6002.22509_x-ww_c7dad023\GdiPlus.dll with version 5.2.6002.22509 - so somehow I doubt that the latest GDI+ is 5.2.6001.22290

I have NO gdiplus.dll in C:\windows\system32.

If I use msinfo32.exe to show system information, I can see that v. 5.2.6002.22509 (vistasp2_ldr.101020-0435) from the mentioned directory is loaded.

On my Windows 7 PC, which does not have this bug, the loaded gdiplus.dll is v. 6.1.7601.17514 (also placed in a winsxs subdir) - according to msinfo32.exe.

Hi,

I successfully installed the KB958911 hotfix (downloaded from the link umbra pointed out - the German version according to my system), but I didn't notice any change in the behavior of Lister.
I also confirm the behavior Gral mentioned. (F2 works fine, though.)

TC 8.0 beta 17a Windows XP Professional SP3 (all hotfixes)

Edit: Several gdiplus.dll files like Petermad in ...\WinSxS\... , but one in Windows\System32 too, which did not change with the installation of the hotfix. The installation of the hotfix installed the file as c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.0.6001.22290_x-ww_f03eb54d\GdiPlus.dll , and it's version-no. is 5.2.6001.22290 .
So, the question is: in which directory Lister looks for the GdiPlus.dll?

Kind regards
Klaus

[ghisler(Author)]

TC looks for the gdiplus dll first in the System directory (GetSystemDirectory), then in the Windows directory (GetWindowsDirectory).
