Hi Johan,

please send me a private e-mail with the text file of the problematic vCard and steps to reproduce the problem.

Cheers,

Hi,

Using InfCloud 0.13.2.rc1 with Chrome, I can no longer add a photo. Everything looks normal, until I save the entry. No errors are given but the resultant entry has no photo.

When I modify (e.g. phone number) of an existing entry with a photo, the photo disappears. The existing photo on the server was a png.

FireFox seems to have no problems with this.

Errors as shown bij the Chromium debugger:

GET data:image/jpeg;base64,, net::ERR_INVALID_URL data_process.js:6357

Maybe related to config.js:

var globalContactPhotoType='jpeg';

Dear Jan,

I'd like to add my problem here because I can imagine that it is somehow connected to the issue here...

I am using carddavmate 0.13.1 to edit the entries in my davical server. Since a couple of weeks

Every time I edit an entry (not the contact photo but e.g. the address) the contact photo seems to be converted into PNG. The vcard file says: PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:data:image/png;base64, .....

Unfortunately some other clients I use with this server do not show the contact photo any more. Especially I use the carddav-sync app on my android cell phone.

You might be saying this is an incompatibility issue for the other clients and I am quite sure you are right. But maybe you have some other hint for me to solve this problem or at least convince carddavmate to leave the image format unchanged when saving the address entry.

By the way: I am using carddavmate for some years now ( and I love it ;-) ) and never had this problems before...

Thanx in advance!

Cheers,

Gerald

Ok, I also checked once again:

This is part of the 'original' vcard dataset

PHOTO;TYPE=jpeg;ENCODING=b:iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAPYAAAESCAYAAAD[...]

When I edit this entry (leave the contact photo unchanged) this is what happens to the photo:

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU[...]

Interesting...

Grepping my contacts[*] it seems that clients have gone wild.

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=jpeg:iVBORw0KGg... all data in one line

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=jpeg:/9j/4AAQSk... all data in one line

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:iVBORw0KGgo... all data in one line

PHOTO;ENCODING=B;TYPE=png: iVBORw0KGgoAA... data broken in 76-byte lines

PHOTO;ENCODING=B;TYPE=JPEG;VALUE=BINARY:iVBORw0KGgoAA... all data in one line

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=PNG;X-ABCROP-RECTANGLE=ABClipRect_1&0&28&246&246&z 5fNmNRbVNbd27D0BTkPsw==:iVBORw0KGgo...

Note that many TYPE=JPEG photos are really PNGs.

So it says it's a JPEG, but it is really a PNG.

When I edit this entry (leave the contact photo unchanged)

What client? If CardDAVMate, what browser?

this is what happens to the photo:

PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU[...]

The photo contents looks unmodified, but now it is (correctly!) registered as a PNG.

But I assume the photo does not get lost, as it is in my case?

I don't think the content is unmodified. Although the first few characters seem to be identical, they begin to differ later...

Hi Gerald,

see: https://www.inf-it.com/mlmmj/davclients/2015-09/0000064.html https://www.inf-it.com/mlmmj/davclients/2015-09/0000064.html

Ok then, I did some further testing:

1. prepared two pictures, 1 jpeg 1 png
2. added one address entry with the jpeg contact photo
3. added one address entry with png contact photo

client was CardDAVMate 0.13.1 browser was Firefox 43.0

Result:

for the jpeg dataset:

BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 UID:x10h9kx8-upx3-td85-lvr3-4560vcvafvv2 N:Aa;Jpeg;;; FN:Aa Jpeg REV:20151223T075141Z PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA [many more lines to follow here]

for the png dataset:

BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 UID:2q2cq44l-qw5t-caqn-s62a-ke657xr0jo9a N:Aa;Png;;; FN:Aa Png REV:20151223T075639Z PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=png:data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA [may more lines to follow here...]

Both vcf files have almost the same size.

So CardDAVMate seems to convert the jpeg picture into png. So far so good. Unfortunately, some other clients do not show up the pictures in the address book after syncing. E.g. android smart phone with carddavsync and thunderbird with SOGo Connector. Both clients worked fine until some weeks (months?) ago. In CardDAVMate both pictures show up just fine!

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Gerald
