Description

I thought that this was #752 but I pulled and build from SVN/trunk (r2474) and I'm still getting a crash in gThumb when rotating an image (same image every time). Full stack trace:

The image is attached. This is happening a lot with images taken with my new camera (Canon S95), so I'm not sure if there's some makernote field that's not getting parsed properly or if something else is really broken.

Thanks,

Derek

Revision 2562 (diff)
Added by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

#769: Fixed calculation of binary array size in the case when the array elements are not sorted in ascending order, added test case.

History

#1

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

The image looks ok, I can't see anything wrong with its metadata. Definitely not the same problem as #752.

I can't reproduce the issue with the exiv2 command line tool. Adding a tag works fine. The backtrace shows that exiv2 is serializing the metadata when it crashes, maybe related to the actual data that was changed. What tags does gThumb modify here?

(cc Mike from gThumb)

#2

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

I'll have to confirm but at the very least it's going to modify the orientation tags and probably the pixel X/Y dimensions. It also appears to remove the EXIF thumbnail from my images (thank goodness, I wish I could just turn that off in my camera). gThumb adds a "Software" tag equal to "gthumb <version". Let me compare EXIF tags from the image in question and one of the images that gthumb successfully rotates.

#3

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

OK, here are the tags I can get from "exiv2 -P E pr <file>" for an image that doesn't crash (IMG_2280.JPG) and the one that does (IMG_2281.JPG). Besides the obvious differences in shooting conditions, it looks like a few of the tags get removed (Exif.Canon.OwnerName, Exif.Image.ImageDescription, etc). If you would like more detailed EXIF data just let me know the command line I should use.

#4

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

Thanks. Since they are not too large, can you just attach a "before" and "after" picture?

#5

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

This is what I'll do with the information, but probably not before the weekend. If you have time, you can try yourself: Create an exiv2 command script that transforms the metadata of the "before" picture to the "after" state (-m option, man exiv2). Then apply it to the picture that crashes. Does it crash too, i.e., can you reproduce the crash with these exiv2 commands?

I'll have time to work on this on Sunday. Let me see what I find. I'll take a test photo to do before and after and see if I can make a script that replicates the changes.

Thanks!

#7

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

Well, I've tried replicating using a mod script, but I can't figure out how to modify things like MakerNotes (which is changed). Let me take a test shot and upload before and after images (assuming I can get an image that won't crash gThumb)

#8

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

OK, got lucky. The attached images are the before (-orig) and after images with a gThumb rotation.

#9

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

I can't reproduce the issue. The attach command file transforms the metadata of the "before" image to the "after" state but also applies without any crash on IMG_2281.JPG.

There is definitely something wrong here, but I can't help without being able to reproduce the crash.

Andreas

#10

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

Understood. The command file I sent isn't 100% correct, FYI. For one thing, I don't transform the maker notes or a few other things that I wasn't sure how to change. In any case I'm working around the issue now by using exiftran from the command line.

#11

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

Makernote tags can be modified like any other tags. The only special cases here are tags with offsets, which are computed during writing. You don't need to set them. See the commands in the attached file 2801.txt. After applying these commands to IMG_2801-orig.JPG, exiv2 reports the same metadata in IMG_2801-orig.JPG as in IMG_2801.JPG, except for a difference in the sequence of the makernote tags.

Andreas

#12

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I'll bump this up the the gThumb folks and see if they can look at it. Just looking at their source for the image rotation extension, it looks like they're wiping all EXIF data from the image and then rebuilding it, rather than modifying one or two attributes.

Is there a way to know if a tag has an offset or, in general, if it's safe to set it?

Paolo (gThumb developer)

#14

Updated by Derek Chen-Becker over 10 years ago

FYI, since Paolo joined in I wanted to mention that I'm still affected by this. I'm working around it currently by disabling auto-rotate on import and then I have my own script (using exiftran) that deals with the images :(

Paolo (gThumb developer)

Setting these offset tags doesn't affect the way exiv2 works and doesn't result in a corrupted image. The value you set is ignored and instead exiv2 uses the calculated offset. If the tag is not needed it will not be written at all to ensure the TIFF structure remains intact and prevent a dangling pointer.

There is no simple way to recognize these tags. The most common ones are:

Exif.Image.ExifTag             : Offset of the Exif IFD    
Exif.Photo.InteroperabilityTag : Offset of the Interoperability IFD
Exif.Image.GPSTag              : Offset of the GPS IFD

You'd have to read specifications or look in the Exiv2 source code for others (look for newTiffSubIfd in tiffimage.cpp).

Updated by Paolo Bacchilega over 10 years ago

Setting these offset tags doesn't affect the way exiv2 works and doesn't result in a corrupted image.

I still don't understand how to avoid the sv==d assertion failure.

I'll try to describe how gThumb uses exiv2.

Metadata is read in the exiv2_read_metadata function (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gthumb/tree/extensions/exiv2_tools/exiv2-utils.cpp#n557), for each metadatum the key, description, formatted value, raw value and type name are stored in the GthMetadata structure.

Metadata is written in the exiv2_write_metadata_private function (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gthumb/tree/extensions/exiv2_tools/exiv2-utils.cpp#n861) where values are created using the command:

Exiv2::Value::AutoPtr value = Exiv2::Value::create (Exiv2::TypeInfo::typeId (value_type));
value->read (raw_value);

where value_type is the string returned by md->typeName() and raw_value by md->value() in the exiv2_read_metadata function.

Do you see any problem with this way of saving metadata ?

#17

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 10 years ago

I still don't understand how to avoid the sv==d assertion failure.

That's probably a bug. I'd like to understand what triggers it. If you can reproduce the problem, can you dump the contents of the ExifData container after reading the metadata and again, before writing (from the newly constructed ExifData container)? Something like this http://www.exiv2.org/doc/exifprint_8cpp-example.html#_a1 can be used to print the data.

Do you see any problem with this way of saving metadata ?

It differs from the common use-case, but I can't immediately tell why it sometimes doesn't work. The usual case is that applications keep the ExifData container and modify it as needed (add/mod/del tags). In gthumb you take the tags out of that into another list and later build a new ExifData object.

I can reproduce the problem when changing a set of 600 images, the s==d assertion is triggered always by the same image, however if I try to change only that image, or a smaller set of images containing that same image, there is no error.

Explanation of the attached files:

exif-dump-before.txt => this is the ExifData of the original image
exif-dump-before-after.txt => this is the ExifData before saving the image and when the image is part of a 600 images set
exif-dump-before-after-no-crash.txt => this is the ExifData before saving the image and when the image is the only file to be changed (in this case there is no crash)

#19

Updated by Paolo Bacchilega over 10 years ago

Here is the diff between exif-dump-before.txt and exif-data-after.txt, maybe this way it's easier to spot the problem.

  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

The bug that I can reproduce here shows if one tries to add binary array elements out of sequence. That happens in the above cases because Exif.CanonCs.FlashDetails is added at the end of the list.

r2562 fixes this issue. Please test and confirm that all assertions are gone with the current trunk. Alternatively, the changes should also apply as a binary compatible patch to 0.21.1.
