IOError: cannot identify image file

This issue can be closed. The problem was, that some pictures are broken (size was only 16KB).

Thanks for the feedback,
Let's keep the issue opened for now, I will see to catch the exception and add an error log.

Maybe this is related. I got a bit different IOError. I suspect that the JPG file in my collection that caused fatal error got corrupted during ftp transfer. However if I run sigal only on that folder it goes trough without an error.

My sugestion would be that sigal keeps on processing the collection despite fatal error on one of the images. With large multimedia collections it's not that convenient to run sigal over and over again until all faulty images are singled out.

I had the same issue yesterday.

After verifying each image, I run Sigal again with less NCPU and it went trough without an error ...

[markodvornik]

NCPU didn't work for me.

The problem is in

img = PILImage.open(source)

when source is a broken image file (according to PIL). A dirty workaround would be to wrap generate_image & generate_thumbnail functions in image.py in try/except.

This workaround results in gallery being made, but with blank thumbnails and no preview for broken source images.

A dirty workaround would be to wrap generate_image & generate_thumbnail functions in image.py in try/except.

Yeah, that's something I must look at. Could you send me examples of broken file ?
