[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#517903: octave-image: imread / identify parsing

[Christophe Rhodes]

Package: octave-image
Version: 1.0.6-3
Severity: normal


The imread function calls imagemagick/graphicsmagick identify to work
out what kind of image it has (unless the filename it is given has a
JPEG or PNG extension).  It seems to look for a string of the form
"NN?-bit" with the line
    depth = re_grab("([[:digit:]]{1,2})-bit", ident);
but that matches nothing in identify's output on my system:

csr21 at omega:~$ identify -verbose /tmp/pastedGraphic.png | grep -e bit -e 
Type  Type: true color
  Depth: 8 bits-per-pixel component
    Red:      8 bits
    Green:    8 bits
    Blue:     8 bits

(This means that attempting to read images of format other than jpeg or 
png fails).
