That's not too surprising.

I'm sorry you think it's useless.  It's definitely flaky.  I'd like to
re-write it at some point, but it's a very large effort.

Send me the debug.log after trying to open one of these.  I depend on
the OS's JPEG DLL of course, so anything it can't open won't work.

Thanks!
