Bug Description

If eog is fed a missing file, it reports that no images were found in the file, rather than that the file itself is missing. This happens every time eog is fed a missing file via the shell, but only via the shell not the menus.

Say the file "/home/user/Pictures/foo.jpeg" does not exist but eog is launched in the shell using "eog /home/user/Pictures/foo.jpeg" it will produce the error below:

 No images found in file:///home/user/Pictures/foo.jpeg

It should report that the file is not found instead of implying that the file exists but does not contain image data.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.
