Convert Operation Hangs on Specific Image

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the quick reply.

So we kept digging deeper and a coworker found that if she did the following, it worked.

                ConvertCmd cmd = new ConvertCmd();
                String enginePath = "C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.0.5-Q16";
                // create the operation, add images and operators/options
                IMOperation op = new IMOperation();
                op.addImage("C:\\WorkStuff\\badOriginal.jpeg");
                op.resize(800,600);
                op.addImage("C:\\WorkStuff\\fixedHappy2.jpg");
                // execute the operation
                cmd.setSearchPath(enginePath);
                cmd.run(op);

Moving one step at a time towards the broken code. We found it was the pipeIn that caused the problem.

Bernie (lol, hehe) ~ I think I'll go ahead and perhaps try to dig into that errorConsumer. I can't let that become production code, but if it'll help the open source, I'll dig into it and try to get you some more info.

As currently our solution is to modify the code to not use the pipe input. We don't seem to have a use case for why the Pipe object was used and so long as it tests fine without using the pipe, we're going that route.

<3 im4java and thanks for the reply.

Hi Eric,

this is indeed strange. My first try would be to add an error-consumer. This might be the cause of the hang if the internal buffer for the stderr is not cleared. The output might also give some additional insights. This does not deal with the root-cause of course.

// System.out.println("We made it through the INFO gathering and here it is : " + imageInfo3.toString());
System.out.println("Pause");
List<String> listOfDiffs = new ArrayList<String>();
boolean found = false;
Enumeration<String> badNames = imageInfoBad.getPropertyNames();
//Enumeration<String> goodNames = imageInfoGood.getPropertyNames();
int badNamesCounter = 0, goodNamesCounter =0;
while (badNames.hasMoreElements()){
String badFileProperty = badNames.nextElement();
goodNamesCounter =0;
//System.out.println(badFileProperty);
badNamesCounter++;
Enumeration<String> goodNames = imageInfoGood.getPropertyNames();
while (goodNames.hasMoreElements()){
String goodFileProperty = goodNames.nextElement();
//System.out.println(goodFileProperty);
goodNamesCounter++;

}
}
if (!found) {

}

}
System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~");
System.out.println("There were " + badNamesCounter + " bad image properties");
System.out.println("There were " + goodNamesCounter + " good image properties");
System.out.println("There were " + listOfDiffs.size() + " differences in good/bad properties");
System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~");
if (listOfDiffs.size() > 0) {
for(String entry : listOfDiffs) {
System.out.println("Differing Property: " + entry);
}
} else {
System.out.println("No differing properties...");
}

:::

That produces the following output:
``
We're going to get the image info. For two images.
Pause

There were 151 bad image properties
There were 155 good image properties
There were 1 differences in good/bad properties

Differing Property: Properties:exif:Artist:exif:Copyright:exif:Flash
''

Now the difference betweent he two images is one is the bad image and one is that same image simply resaved (meaning It'll work)

So digging deeper here, it looks like perhaps that property causing image magik to get mad...

Oh sorry, here is the image file in question.

And a link to it:

Hello. I have an instance where a specific image file is causing the convert.exe to hang. However when I run the same command through either the command line in Windows, or through a runtime execution inside java, the operation complets successfully.

The below code should indicate, I hope, that I am performing the same operation (in a local environment) between the im4java interface and the command line.

Super weird. I've tried an assortment of different commands in im4java, nothing seems to matter. Even just tried to 'resave' it.

Speaking of resaving. Whenever I modify the image in anyway, even a simple resaving, it then clears up whatever is wrong with the image and the im4java interface deals with it just fine.

Can anyone reproduce the hanging below? We first found this to be happening in our prod environment on a linux box.

Anyone happen to know or have an idea how I could try to detect the problem aspect(s) of this image before I send it to image magik through im4java? That way we dont have hanging threads out there?

            boolean runImageTest = true;
