Since now it's pretest time, I gave it more testing, and found more problems:
1. AFAIR one of the goals for creating image-converter.el
was to handle such rare image formats as WEBP,
but I tried to open a webp file, and image-converter failed
because it doesn't recognize WEBP.
There is no WEBP mentioned in the output of "identify -list format".
After installing `apt-get install webp`, another command
"identify -list delegate" reports its support with:
Delegate Command
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
webp => "dwebp' -pam '%i' -o '%o"
png<= webp "cwebp' -quiet %Q '%i' -o '%o"
2. After adding manually webp to image-converter-regexp,
there is another problem: image-converter--convert-magick
calls the command with
(apply #'call-process (car command)
nil t nil
where the arg 't' means to mix standard error output with ordinary output,
but ImageMagick outputs some info messages to stderr, e.g.:
Decoded /tmp/magick-20114vaPD-fxUjRW4. Dimensions: 320 x 214 . Format: lossy.
Now saving...
Saved file /tmp/magick-20114h1Jh0D04beDR
thus breaking the image output.
3. Visiting an image file from an archive signals the error
Cannot display image: (IMAGE-FORMAT should be a symbol like ‘image/png’)
4. Exif fails to visit images with the error:
Cannot display image: (sequencep 122)
Shouldn't exif code be called with ignore-errors, so its errors won't
affect the image displaying?
Test case:
exif --output=blackz.jpg --tag=Artist --ifd=0 --set-value='z'
test/data/image/black.jpg
Exif fails to handle ASCII field values whose length is less than 4.
In the above example the length of the 'Artist' field is 1 ('z').
