I am having an issue loading 24 bit bmps I export from GIMP. I load a BMP and export it as a 32 bit BMP and 24 bit BMP. Once I export the 24 bit BMP, I can no longer open it in GIMP (Unrecognized format or compression error). I have tried this on several machines with v2.10. No luck. I can open the 24 bit BMPs in MS Paint with no problem. Any ideas?
I have attached one of the many I cannot open.
Thanks for your time
I opened the file in Paint.net and saved it with Paint.net. Now it can be loaded in gimp without problems.

That worked. However, when I loaded it back into GIMP and re-exported it as a 24 bit BMP, it broke it again. I guess GIMP has a bug working with 24 bit BMPs. Going through paint.net every time to edit is bizarre, but better than nothing.. Thanks for the response.
When exporting the .bmp enable,
