identify -verbose reports incorrect Class (correct w/o -verb

[broucaries]

According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656942

It seems that the output of identity change if -v flags was given see original thread.

Please fix or at least document under man page (least surprise).

Thanks

The user should check the image type for a reliable method of determining the type of image. For rock48.png we get the expected results:

• -> identify -verbose rock48.png | more
  Image: rock48.png
  Format: PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
  Class: DirectClass
  Geometry: 20x20+0+0
  Resolution: 72x72
  Print size: 0.277778x0.277778
  Units: Undefined
  Type: PaletteMatte
  Endianess: Undefined
  Colorspace: sRGB
  Depth: 8-bit
  ...

The problem is the difference between -verbose class and without verbose. Least surprise will direct to be the same.

It looks like a problem with the PNG coder. We'll pass the problem onto the PNG developer and hopefully we'll get a patch in a day or two. Thanks.

I have checked in a fix to SVN revision 7017 that makes the non-verbose identify output agree with the verbose (correct) output.
