.tif Unknown Filetype to GIMP 3.2.4 - ajax - 05-10-2026
What is going on here? When I try to open and image file in GIMP and select a .tif format file an error message pops up as follows:

Note: Just to be clear this is happening on Windows 10.

I do not know ... but drive W: ?
Can you move the tif file to say Pictures and maybe rename to xxx.tif then does it open ? Might just be a permissions thing.

It looks like this problem was caused because of a mistake I made in specifying one of the plugin folders in Preferences. It looks like I finally have Ver3.2.4 opening properly. It will take some time to confirm how well it is working.
