Figures database trouble

Figures database trouble

[Serge Stinckwich]

Hi,

i'm trying to use the figures database feature of ConTeXt with several jpg files.

With the following figures.xml file : 

<figurelibrary language="en">
  <description>
    <project>test</project>
    <comment>bla bla</comment>
  </description>
  <figure>
    <file>pict0001</file>
    <label>pict001</label>
    <comment>bla bla</comment>
    <copyright>Serge Stinckwich</copyright>
  </figure>
</figurelibrary>

and texexec --pdf --use=fig-make figures.xml

i've got : 

Error: pdfetex (file ./pict0001.jpg): reading JPEG image failed

What's wrong ?

I think i have found the problem : pdftex doesn't support the EXIF format in jpg files (my jpg files came from a digital camera).

More here : http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2002-May/002603.html

i had something similar sometime ago, for jpg pdftex depends on libraries, 
so always use the latest version

>From pdfTeX 1.10-devel on, EXIF headers in JPEG files are ignored (no
error during inclusion), so camera pictures can be included into pdfTeX.
But this might require manual picture scale adjustment.

Or in the meantime you might also use dvipdfm (ignores EXIF headers) as
dvi postprocessor to produce good pdf, or you might preprocess your
pictures by the nice and free tool jhead from Matthias Wandel, which
allows to delete EXIF headers from JPEG files.
