[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#501237: libpano13-0: libpano does not recognize JPEG files

[Loïc Grenié]

Package: libpano13-0
Version: 2.9.12.dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

libpano does not recognize an image type if the filename is not of the
correct form (i.e. with a 3 letter extension corresponding to the type).
My images are (unfortunately) named *.jpeg and so libpano does not
recognize them.

Fortunately for all the types of images that libpano knows of, the first
byte is different. I've done a patch (attached) that reads the first
byte of the file and calls the only possible reader. The changes are
minor.

There are two possible drawbacks (in addition to the bugs): it is
possible that the messages get strange if the file is not of the
"guessed" type and I may have broken Mac support (I don't think so
but it is possible).

   Thank you,

       Loïc
