2010.01.04 22:32 "file name gone from error messages, why?", by Olivier Paquet

Hi everyone,
     In the process of upgrading to 4.0.0 I noticed that error messages 
from libtiff no longer print the file name. eg. what used to be:

text-1.tif : ThunderDecode: Not enough data at scanline 320 (0 != 1512)

is now simply:

ThunderDecode : Not enough data at scanline 320 (0 != 1512)

a quick look at a few files in CVS show this happening in the BigTIFF 
merge so there isn't any detail as to why it happened. I couldn't find 
anything in the list archive either.

So, does anyone have a clue why this was removed? Would anyone object to 
putting it back in? Or is there some other "new way" of getting the same 
result?

Having the file name is obviously very handy if you're trying to figure 
out the source of an error in an application which reads/writes hundreds 
of files.
