not a supported image file and/or not writeable [but then works anyway?]

(command run as root to confirm this isn't a permissions error)

Any way to figure out why it gives me an error but then works anyway? i would like to prevent the false negatives so that i can know when it really does fail. Is this related to the fact that i don't have an X server and i'm running trimage via xvfb ?

This is all wrong, ignore this comment. I'm pretty sure the issue is this line: https://github.com/Kilian/Trimage/blob/master/src/trimage/trimage.py#L209

I think there is a q missing. it should be: image = QImage(fullpath) Unless this is using some other Image function, but i don't see that imported anywhere, so my best guess is it is supposed to be using QImage from the import: from PyQt4.QtGui import *

QImage is the only imported module i can find that has a method "valid"

Ok, thats pretty weird. i just noticed that the version of trimage i am using on ubuntu is different than this git. I installed it with:

apt-get install trimage

The version number in the file is the same: 1.0.5. But this section of code is totally different because it is missing an indent:

    if image.valid:
        delegatorlist.append(image)
        self.imagelist.append(ImageRow(image, self.compressing_icon))
    if QSystemTrayIcon.isSystemTrayAvailable() and not self.cli:
        self.systemtray.trayIcon.setToolTip("Trimage image compressor (" + str(len(self.imagelist)) + " files)")
        self.setWindowTitle("Trimage image compressor (" + str(len(self.imagelist)) + " files)")
    else:
        print >> sys.stderr, u"[error] %s not a supported image file and/or not writeable" % image.fullpath

In this git, that second if is indented within the if image.valid check.

Ok, well indenting that section fixed it for me. I was wrong about the QImage thing.

Leaving this here for others who might have the same issue with trimage on ubuntu. When i installed it with the package manager it actually ads two trimage.py files (i don't really know why). The issue is only in one of the files.

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/trimage/trimage.py <-- has bad indent. /usr/share/pyshared/trimage/trimage.py <-- perfectly fine, same as git file.

I don't know why there are two files, and i don't know why one of them is incorrect and that is the one being used by the system. this is all beyond me. But fixing that indent fixed my problem.

I'm seeing this issue for a couple of images as well - it appears as though trimage proceeds to optimize despite the error. They also appear to be all PNG images. Any ideas?
