unable to import certain JPGs to 1.0beta2

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • try to import the attached problem file

What happened?

I get "failed to load requested file" error.

What should have happened?

It should have imported.

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.0beta2 (1c3732b, 2019-12-09)
  • Operating System: Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit

Example file:

problem file:

problem

This file imports properly, for comparison:

-OK-

This comes from a forum post, which contains details. However, I will paste them in here:

Some JPEG images can not be imported. These have the following entries:

Endianness: Little-endian (Intel, II)

Subsampling rate: Y CB Cr 4: 2: 2

Because that is over my head, I asked for clarification. Because I assume Inkscape developers will be able to understand that, I won't quote the explanation here, but it's in the forum thread, if you need it.

Thanks for having a look!

Edit

Fyi, forum member IS able to import the problem image into 0.92.2. I am unable to import into 0.92.3 So based on that, it seems the problem first is seen in 0.92.3
