cage47 Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I've used Gimp to edit my photos for posting them on my website. Well today was the first time since I installed 2006 that I've had to edit new photos for the site. So I popped out my cf card from the camera and plugged it into the lexar card reader. No probs. Still love how 2006 handles usb devices now. Well I tried my usual routine. i tried to open the pic directly from the cf card into Gimp. Well Gimp would load but it wouldn't open the pic. I tried a few different times. I even removed and reinstalled Gimp. No go. So I copied that file and the others (this year's family holiday photos) to my pics directory. Again I tried to open that file. No go. Now I tried to open a couple of the other pics and it opened them and I was able to edit them. No prob. But nothing I did would open that pic. I even tried starting Gimp and then opening the file (I was right clicking on the photo in Konqueror and trying to open it that way first) So I took that pic and put it on the cf card again. Fired up the laptop, that still has 10.0 loaded on it. Opened up Gimp 1.2 and sure enough it opened that file. I made my changes and it saved the pic back. So I go back into 2006 open Gimp and sure enough I was able to open the pic now. I won't even guess as to what the problem is but I almost want to get 1.2 reinstalled into 2006 now since 2.2 has this problem. If the jpg has any problems it won't open though in 1.2 it will. Oh, before trying to open it in gimp I previewed all the photos in Kwickview first with no problems so the original would read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Seems pretty odd. I have 2006 and use Gimp to edit photos, including jpg's. How did you install 2006? Clean?Update from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage47 Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Oh I always install clean. There really shouldn't be a reason for this to happen but it does. They are off cd's purchased from Cheapbytes. It's wierd since the pic will open in any viewer fine. But once I saved it in 1.2 it was ok.

angst Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Just want to add that I also have a couple of family pics (jpg's) that gimp 2 can't open on a fresh install of Mandriva 2006. Every other image viewer opens them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
