Strange Behaviour, JBIG2DEC

[zeugma]

Opening various filetypes in Image View, (JPG,JPEG,PSD etc)...
I get a command window appear which cycles multiple lines of
"Fatal Error not a JBIG2 file header"

Sometimes the window will (eventually) close, at other times it requires a three finger salute (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) to close it.

I would mention that the JPEG files have EXIF data embedded, taken with a Canon EOS350D and each about 2.5-3 Meg in size.

Comments?

Strange, jbig2 loader is only called when you have .jb2 extension.
You are in image view, and you use File/Open?

I'm experiencing the same behavior as zeugma reported, i.e., multiple command windows appear cycling multiple lines of "Fatal Error not a JBIG2 file header". It occurs on all image types I've tried (jpg, bmp, gif). When in the browser, if I double-click on any image; and when cycling to "Next Image" once an image is loaded. It does not occur when going to previous image. It also does not occur in "Full Screen" mode. I can cycle forward/backward in "Full Screen" view with no pop-up errors. The number of command windows that pop-up is a function of how many files are in the directory (lots of files => lots of pop-ups).

I'm running XnView Version 1.80.1 en on Windows 98SE. It's on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 w/ATI AIW 9000 Pro.

Very strange, and if you remove jbig2dec.exe?
Perhaps a problem on win98?? Anyone has the same problme on 2K/Xp?

If I remove jbig2dec.exe, the problem goes away. In fact, when I restore the plug-in, the problem still remains gone. Weird, eh?

I originally thought that the problem might be related to the fact that I use Paint Shop Pro and that there's a Paint Shop Pro "Browser" file in virtually all of my image directories, of file type "jbf." I deleted that file in several image folders & experimented w/XnView, but the JBIG2DEC Command Window pop-ups still occurred - even in those folders in which I had removed the PSP browser file (pspbrwse.jbf).

As stated above, after restoring the jbig2dec.exe plug-in, the problem still no longer occurs. Even after rebooting and browsing w/XnView through many image directories, I can no longer reproduce the JBIG2DEC error.

One thing I failed to mention in my first post is that I used the complete "zipped" version of XnView (vs. the executable "Install/Setup" version)... not that it makes any difference. (altho' you never know w/W98)

Thanks for your timely assistance! This is the first time I've tried XnView, and so far I love it!
