I can provide many different jpegs which is not supported. This problem happens almost every day, and many years, without any fix. Please, drop that library or whatever you use for jpeg importing, it is so bad. Any program can open any jpegs, but why not your program? Many and many of my clients are suffering every year, seeing "linked image not found". And I saw many reports about jpegs here. And even wrote one, but can't find it. jIUIjVFd1e
