Truncated PNG image

[mfrach]

Hello.
I have a PNG image that is I think a little bit corrupt, but in a way that is (I think) not too uncommon.

I was hoping to use exiftool to basically read the original and rewrite it in a valid form.  The command line I am using is:
    exiftool.exe  -artist=me -ignoreMinorErrors -out modified.png  original.png

I thought the -ignoreMinorErrors might help.

When I run this I get:
Warning: Truncated PNG image - original.png
Error: Error writing output file - original.png
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors

No output image is written.  Is there a way to ask exiftool to ignore the fact that the input PNG image is truncated, and write the output anyway?

Hi Marty,

Truncated image data is not a minor error, so it can't be ignored.  ExifTool will not write a file like this.
