crash at very first file opening (TIFF)

[loic]

I've just download and install Inkscape (for windows)
Instalation in "typical mode"
Then I launch it -> All OK
Then I make file / Open and select a small TIFF file.
I do not change any import option and just confirm
Then I have a new error window "Runtime Error!" see linked file for details....

thanks

I uninstalled inkscape, then install again ... and I have the same behavior.
I did not try to reboot

I tried to open a jpg file and ... it works. It seems the issue is linked with my TIFF file (done with Photoshop)

I join to this comment the TIFF file (I have other similar) that create a crash during import

- crash reproduced on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015), if I use the import option "Image DPI : from File"
- not reproduced if I use the import option "Image DPI : Default Import Resolution", result attached here

- identical behavior in trunk rev 14645

Please add details to the bug description about the installer used for Inskcape 0.91: 32bit or 64bit?

No crash with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on OS X 10.7.5.

Console message:
** (inkscape:70976): WARNING **: ImageResolution::readmagick: Unknown error

[su_v (suv-lp)]

With current 32bit builds for Windows, this is probably about the same issue as reported earlier e.g. in
* Bug #1447131 “crash when loading a specific tif file using the option 'DPI from file'”

Same warning as in comment #6 with Inkscape trunk rev. 14645, Xubuntu 15.10 (ImageMagick 6.8.9.9). But no crash here, La Linea shows as expected.

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

When catching the exception (still on Xubuntu), the following message shows:

** (inkscape:17282): WARNING **: ImageResolution::readmagick: Magick: Incompatible type for "RichTIFFIPTC"; tag ignored. `TIFFFetchNormalTag' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/861

The ImageMagick forum (https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=28126) explains why.

When testing on Windows, Inkscape crashes when reaching "image.read(fn);" in src/extension/internal/image-resolution.cpp. Apparently we don't manage to catch exceptions from IM. Probably due to how IM was compiled (and unfortunately IM is awful to compile on Windows...).
