I thought about something like that, but I haven't figured out how to work around and trap the eventual error dialog. We could use kuickshow or kview to test png, gif, and jpg/jpeg images; gwenview to test svg/svgz images; and the safest bet for xcf is gimp. I haven't run any tests to see what kind of exit code those apps produce for success and failure. A script run during the night would be nice: test_tde_image () { for i in `find $GIT_SOURCES -name *.$FILE_TYPE`; do $IMAGE_APP $i # How to trap and close error dialogs? &>/dev/null? # Allow time for images to load? sleep 5 # How to close the app? EXIT_CODE="$?" if [ "$EXIT_CODE" != "0" ]; then echo "$i failed to open without error." >> $LOG_FILE fi done } GIT_SOURCES=/path/to/GIT/sources LOG_FILE=/path/to/corrupt-tde-image.log touch $LOG_FILE FILE_TYPE="png" IMAGE_APP=kuickshow test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="gif" IMAGE_APP=kuickshow test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="jpg" IMAGE_APP=kuickshow test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="jpeg" IMAGE_APP=kuickshow test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="svg" IMAGE_APP=gwenview test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="svgz" IMAGE_APP=gwenview test_tde_image FILE_TYPE="xcf" IMAGE_APP=gimp test_tde_image Or something like that.
