Comment 10 for bug 1381583

The crash has been fixed. The issue was that we were crashing on images that did not have valid exif meta-data. We are now checking for that and not crashing.

However we discovered a related bug (not a regression, has always been there), where certain file types are not supported in the gallery, like .gif and .svg. If you try to download a file of this type you will get no error but the photo will not show up in the gallery and there is no warning. This is tracked https://bugs.launchpad.net/gallery-app/+bug/1403205 but is not related to this fix.

Also, so images on flickr are not legally allowed to be downloaded. If you attempt to download them on a desktop browser it will tell you the photographer has disallowed downloading. On Ubuntu Touch in Flick using the steps above, a bogs 1x1 gif is downloaded when you attempt to download a file that is copy protected. Again there is not feedback to the user.
