"unknown field with tag 37724 (0x935c) encountered"

[naoliv]

Hi!

We have received a bug report (http://bugs.debian.org/585414) about a conversion from TIFF to XPM.
Testing with the latest beta version (6.6.2-5) it's still possible to see this:

Code: Select all

$ convert BatMon_icon.tif -resize 32x32 batmon.xpm
convert: BatMon_icon.tif: unknown field with tag 37724 (0x935c) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/704.

The problematic file can be found at http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/misc/i ... n_icon.tif

Is the TIFF file somehow damaged or invalid or it's a problem with ImageMagick, please?

Thank you!

The exception the user received is informational and is not considered a bug. TIFF allows for tagged metadata. The TIFF specification defines a number of well-known tags. Other proprietary tags are permitted but ignored.

fmw,

Sorry for the thread coming back to life but I did a quick search and was surprised that you thought that this was an issue that we should overlook. At least that is what I am gathering based on the -quiet command? I would like for everything to be in place so I know the program isn't falling apart...

You misunderstand. That was not my intention. I was responding to the original post and was assuming it was a warning and not a crash - sorry - but when one posts a new thread on an old one, things get confusing.

Suggestions to the Poster of the attached thread: Have you tested it using the command line (just a simple convert to another image)? Can you upgrade your IM? Just some suggestions to try to narrow down the issue.
