Bug Description
Binary package hint: qiv
qiv --watch reloads an image if it has changed on disk.
When I update a png while watching it with qiv, sometimes (about 1 in 5 times) the image is displayed all corrupted accompanied by the error "libpng error: Read Error".
Perhaps it is a timing issue where the read is occurring before the write is finished?
qiv 2.2.2-1
libimlib2 1.4.2-5build1
Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit.

Should be fixed with qiv 2.3.1 starting with Ubuntu 15.04:
19.07.2011
[ tw] when using "--watch" option, make sure pic is not reloaded
while still written.
