Hello SuSE folk,

This has nothing to do with anything about SuSE, but I know there are a lot of 
great people out there and expecially some very good graphics guys. I just 
put on my flame suit and am prepared to run and duck :-)

So here goes:  My children bought me one of those digital picture frames this 
past Christmas.  I loaded a whole bunch of family photos from my albums on 
it.  It is set as a slide show and it keeps freezing randomly (every few 
days) on any random photo. So I emailed the company and here is their reply:
----------------------------------------
Good Morning Bob,
         We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. However, 
this is a symptom of having edited photos on whatever media type you are 
using to display your pictures. If you have edited any of your photos, even 
1, you have changed the compression of that photo to a progressive .JPG & the 
frame will only display Standard .JPG's. You will need to re-save any edited 
pictures as standard JPG's & this should solve your freezing issues. If you 
have any additional questions feel free to respond for further assistance. 
Have a great day.
-------------------------------------
Of course I did and they didn't

Now, of course I have edited many of these photos, some in the Gimp, others in 
other apps. 

The million dollar question is; what the heck is a progressive JPG and how do 
I resave it. I looked at the meta info on several and some are quite 
different.

Reply privately so I don't tick off the guys anymore.

Sorry guys, really!

Bob S
