Re: [Ids-devel] RE: line errors

[Bruce L. <nb...@um...>]

I went back and tried rewriting a number of images, and then running 
Previewmaker again. It continued to have problems with those images. It 
found that it also is having problems with images that I have scanned. 
Here are a few examples:

######
 From the cam images:
[Wed Mar 17 16:07:28 2004] previewmaker.pl: Exception 315: 
albums/Albums/Wife Album/PICT0003.TIF: unknown field with tag 317 
(0x13d) encountered. (TIFFReadDirectory) at /idsShared.pm line 579
[Wed Mar 17 16:07:29 2004] previewmaker.pl: Exception 410: Reference is 
not my type (Image::Magick) at /idsShared.pm line 608.
[Bruce-Lewins-Computer:/Volumes/38 GB Disk/ids-0.82] lewinb%


 From the scan:
[Wed Mar 17 16:05:57 2004] previewmaker.pl: Exception 315: 
albums/Albums/Wife Album/Honeymoon1.tif: unknown field with tag 317 
(0x13d) encountered. (TIFFReadDirectory) at /idsShared.pm line 579
[Wed Mar 17 16:05:58 2004] previewmaker.pl: Exception 410: Reference is 
not my type (Image::Magick) at /idsShared.pm line 608.

Could it have something to do with the tiff byte order? I always save 
images with Mac byte order... While I don't think that it could be 
this, since I haven't edited many of these images, which means they 
would remain in whatever form they were written, I am wondering, since 
it certainly didn't seem to help to rewrite them.
