SUMMARY

Marble 2.2.0 "broke" when I tried to create a new map using a single .jpg image
which was quite large. (23040x11520 pixels).  


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create map from a single image.  Make the image very large (eg: 23040x11520
pixels)


OBSERVED RESULT

New map loading dialog box comes up. (should happen only once and take only a
few minutes).  Dialog box never goes away and map image never loads.
The program is now stuck at the image loading dialog box.  It stays like that
for hours with no progress unless I force the program to close.  Upon restart
of the program, the map loading dialog box comes right back up again.
Strangely, even uninstalling Marble, rebooting the computer and reinstalling
Marble does not fix and I get the same dialog box yet again.  Perhaps there is
something I need to take out of the registry? Marble is unusable now on my PC
because it's perpetually stuck trying to load this oversized image.


EXPECTED RESULT

If a user tries to load a "single image" to create a map and the image is too
large for Marble to handle, it should not keep trying to load it but, instead,
return an error warning indicating that the image is too big to load.  Perhaps,
it could also indicate the maximum size allowed for the image.  This way I can
load up a smaller image instead.
