[Bug 350040] Re: Image viewer will not read .bmp images
This happens to me with some files that have the mime type image/png but have a .bmp extension. Not sure how the files ended up that way to begin with, but I suppose that's beside the point. In that particular use case, then it is useful to have a pointer here to

Title:
Image viewer will not read .bmp images
Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: eog
The default image viewer used to view .bmp images perfectly. In fact,
just a few minutes ago, it worked perfectly. A friend sent me a .bmp
file and I attempted to open it with the default image viewer in
Ubuntu 8.10. Thought I'd looked at the same image less than 3 minutes
prior, it now won't show the images, sending me an error that BMP
image has bogus header data. This happens with every bitmap file I try
to open now. I've checked it with the Gimp and they open perfectly.
I've also tried them in F-Spot and they open perfectly. The only
change happened when I was highlighting a folder full of .bmp images
to delete. A menu opened at random just as I was releasing the mouse
buttom, it highlighted the top option and I have no idea what happened
from there but now .bmp images won't open, even ones that have been on
my computer for the past 3 months. It's not a huge deal for me, but
it's something that should be fixed.
