Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Pixes (pix_ objects) Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: B. Bogart (bbogart) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pix_write writes black jpegs when the save path is too long

Initial Comment: With the path included in the file I always get the same behaviour, black images of the right size. Even if I send "640 480" to the correct inlet the behaviour is the same.

So I tried changing the path/filename, and BOOM everything works again.

/home/bbogart/Projects/iat-svn/bbogart/soos/trunk/test-captures/mountains/cap

will not work (I did not try making a fake directory named like this for testing, but I suggest you give it a try to see if you get the same behaviour.)

BUT this path/filename DOES work:

/home/bbogart/Projects/iat-svn/bbogart/soos/trunk/test-captures/cap

Interesting eh?

Also this is the source of the extension bug, If I use this message:

file /home/bbogart/Projects/iat-svn/bbogart/soos/trunk/test-captures/mountains/cap 0

I get a bunch of black JPEGs! where 0 is named .tif.

If I use this (the same directory called from a relative path:

file test-captures/mountains/cap 0

I get a bunch of properly labeled TIFs not JPEGs.

I guess the message/symbol is too long and causing problems?? I suggest trying to write to a file in a directory with 10 slashes, that should cover the bases!
