Happens every time with this file:

http://www.whitecatgraphics.com/opendesignstudio/gimp/samples/ac_a4_document_holder_vintage_leather_brown_4.png

steps to reproduce:
1.open the downloaded file in gimp
2.export as "ac_a4_document_holder_vintage_leather_brown_4a.png"
3.these boxes in png export are checked: "save background colour", and all
checkboxes after and including Save resolution, compression level 9, and
everything under advanced checked.


Hi

At home in Xenial I exported your picture with save comment.
The above error occurred.
Hmm.

I took a look at the comment field exactly the exif:ImageDescription: It
contains an invalid UTF-8 string.

*identify -verbose ac_a4_document_holder_vintage_leather_brown_4.png | grep
-i desc **
**    exif:ImageDescription: ..:\w.*

According to the Exif spec
(http://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-008-2012_E.pdf), even UTF-8
should be invalid. This field is supposed to be ASCII only apparently
(yes that's sucky, definitely). To use multi-byte encoding, such as
UTF-8 (or others such as JIS), the right field is UserComment.

After replacing the picture comment content with Gimp's standard one - valid
UTF-8, I think - I could export your picture without any problem.

*identify -verbose ac_a4_document_holder_vintage_leather_brown_4a.png | grep
-i desc
    exif:ImageDescription: Created with GIMP*

I guess it's a bug regarding the comment string and/or character set
handling. Maybe a wrong character set was using in the exif:ImageDescription
field, I assume.

All this said, it would be good if GIMP were more robust to
otherwise-valid images, even with buggy metadata. In particular, it
should not fail to export, but simply discard the wrong metadata field
with a warning.

Could you please open a bug report about this issue so that we look
into this issue?
Thanks!

Jehan

    Under Trusty I can't reproduce that behavior. :-(

    gimp Version 2.9.3.81-0t0~ppa
