[Fixed] Gimp 2.6.7 rev 2 missing file formats

Submitted by Oz315 on August 15, 2009 - 8:21pm

After upgrading to 2.6.7 Rev 2, Gimp did not recognize a PNG file. I went to the menu File > Open, expanded Select File Type, and the only type available was XCF. Reinstalling 2.6.7 restored all other file formats.

Me too. JPG format with the following error...

Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

Opening 'X:\xxx.jpg' failed:
Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values

Clean install to default location, XP SP2 admin. Restarting GIMP doesn't help.

I also noticed the file open selection dialog wasn't scrolling. ???

Doh, it's the SetOutPath :(

John, the change of SetOutPath causes that GIMP can't find the plugins. I'm so sorry for my untested suggestion (it works that way for Dia). Maybe you'll have to add "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\bin" to the PATH (Dia launcher does that and Dia finds its plugins) or something similar, so that it'll work again.
Again, I feel ashamed.

Revert

That's what I would have expected it would be. The thing is that my locally installed version of GIMP's shortcut runs "C:\Program Files\GIMP\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" with the working directory %USERPROFILE%\Pictures. Looking through the path however, there is no mention of anything to do with the GIMP. So I don't know quite what the problem is.

My recommendation would just be to revert to Revision 0 until we can work it out with proper testing.

Fixed in Rev 3

This is fixed in Rev 3 (which is the same as the original release). The fix I rolled into Rev 2 worked on my machine and I wasn't able to reproduce the above issues, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. We'll work on it for the next version.
