[Fixed] Gimp 2.6.7 rev 2 missing file formats

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.

More Info

I'm unable to reproduce this. Please supply more info: OS version, install location, new install vs upgrade, etc.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Me too. JPG format with the

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

Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
(X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\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. ???

open dialogue doesn´t recognize other picture files unless you check open all files.
But if you select a jpeg you can´t open it with an erro5r warning

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.
