Description:
In order to protect itself from malfunction, II2LN always verify the specified image files. This is done by binary analysis of the bytes within the file, and thus II2LN can easily detect if a GIF file with a JPG file extension, really is a GIF file. Normally II2LN process most image types without problems.
If you have problems with your images, you might turn on even stricter image verification. If your image doesn't load, or GuessImageFormat reports "not a valid file", the file cannot be processed by II2LN.
Declaration:
StrictImageVerification:<OnOff>
Parameters:

Notes:
The reason for this import option came August in 2007 when we received some JPG files which had crashed Notes. The images could not be opened in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, so there definitely was something wrong with the files. The supposed-to-be JPG files turned out to be TIFF files with some sort of embedded JPG encoding. After some research it turns out that there are several sub-JPG formats out there, with the similar construction. Since none of these TIFF-mixed-with-JPG is regarded as a standard, there are very limited support for them out there. As a curiosity Microsoft Vista went into an endless loop of crashing its main Windows Explorer process, when it tried to create a thumbnail view of the image while it was on the desktop. So not even Vista knew how to handle this image.
