scan + crop + rotate= "Failed to save file\n couldn't allocate memory for loading JPEG file"

[moose]

steps to reproduce
scan 1 page
right click image select crop then letter
rotate page CCW. this is the direction i tested with.
click save. doesn't matter what format as none save but varies message in error bod

save as pdf results in this message: "Failed to save file\n couldn't allocate memory for loading JPEG file"

you should also have people run the debug line as simple-scan --debug > simple-scan.log 2>&1 that way stderr is captured

steps taken in log
run simple-scan --debug > simple-scan.log 2>&1
scan page
crop ->letter
rotate CCW
save -> fails resulting in msg above
rotate back CW
save -> works fine

this bug doesn't happen if you rotate then crop. only happens when you crop then rotate.'

Yeah I'd like to confirm this. I did the same steps (I may have rotated multiple times; I don't remember exactly). Anyways, rotating it again allowed me to save it.

I had the same error, when I was saving the scan into my "Pictures" directory. The error didn't show up, when saving the scan into my home directory.

I didn't find out the reason.

this will not be fixed in the packaging of the application

So the application does not crash but only display that message? Could you attach a screenshot of that message? You can keep working with the program and even successfully save the scan after rotating it some more and maybe changing the location?

>"So the application does not crash but only display that message?"
Yes.

The message shows up in every location like Deskop, home, Images - location doesn't matter - but only after "scan + crop + rotate" procedure. Before "crop + rotate" file can be saved, after crop -> file can be saved.
Only when You scan, crop and rotate, file->save - choose location ie: /home -> save -> and shows this message:
"Failed to save file\n couldn't allocate memory for loading JPEG file".

Actually, I can't reproduce bug on Ubuntu, becouse I use Debian (squeeze) and simple-scan 2.31.1 works perfectly.

This is an old bug in Ubuntu 10.04, (10.10?) - imho lets forget about it.

We are short on manpower evenn just maintaining the current version, so lets do this.
