crash when previewing corrupted jpg file

[Cerno]

When trying to open the attached .jpg file in the "open file..." dialog, Inkscape attempts to preview the file which causes a hard crash.

The file was made with a digital camera whose xd-card sometimes corrupts the picture files. I have a couple more of these files if that helps.
The crash does not occur when drag-and-dropping the file to Inkscape but then nothing happens (because the file is corrupt)

2 things follow from this:

- corrupt jpg files probably throw an exception that is not caught
- drag and dropping corrupt files should cause an error message, not just "nothing", which could confuse users.

Cheers,
Cerno

I found a new bug with jpg files.
The bug was added to the source between 2008-29-08 and 2008-09-09. On Windows its impossible to import any jpg files, I tested around 20 from different sources.

If imported via File-> Import or opened via File -> Open Inkscape chrashes as soon as the file is selected (if preview is disable it crashes after clicking the button), when I try Drag&Drop it's just not imported.
I have no debugging Symbols, because I use the nightly build that is linked on the Download page. But perhaps the backtrace helps without the symbols. I attached it.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r8972 on OS X 10.5.8

Inkscape displays a dialog with the message:
"Failed to load the requested file /path/to/DSCF5061.JPG"

Inkscape console message:
** Message: error loading pixbuf at close

Apple's 'Preview' application loads the corrupted image, but warns in the console:
Thu Jan 14 14:28:00 LeWitt.local Preview[96607] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: found marker 0xfa instead of RST4

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 on Windows XP. As amphi says above, this is a duplicate of bug 173116 - so it only occurs on Windows.

The bug reported by mfn is a separate issue, and appears to be fixed - I have no problem importing normal JPEG files in Inkscape 0.47.
