Full Version: Opening an image problem
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I've used GIMP for a year or so now and just downloaded 2.10. When I go to the File>Open menu and click on my D drive (where I store my photos in a custom folder) the Open window is blank. It does not show any folders, which it did in the previous version (I think it was 2.8 that I was using) that I would then use to navigate to the image I was looking for.

Any help as to why my D drive (and my SSD C drive for that matter) is not showing any folders to access? 

Thanks for any advice.

Try downloading/installing samj's portable version, no problems there: I can see any folder and open any image.

edit: not true, sorry, I can SEE all folders but in practice I worked so far only with my desktop...

Thanks. I will check those out after work. 

So far i just got around it by File>show in file manager. Then navigate to image then right click, then open with, then select gimp

I have done a few tests, looks like it is an issue with the latest gimp 2.10 windows installer.

You could try uninstalling Gimp 2.10 then using the original installer

or if you can live with it, wait a few days and there will probably be a new installer.
