possible to save to UNC path? - raphael75 - 12-29-2019
I'm using windows GIMP 2.10.14. I created an image and tried to save it to a path like
\\myshare\pics\asdf\img.xcf
but nothing happened. Is there a way to save to a UNC path? Thanks.

Does the 'share' show up in the 'places' I can not help much because 1) I am linux-to-linux 2) my NAS is set up as a FTP server.
However, directly saving to the NAS as an xcf fails giving this: https://i.imgur.com/YwTppy0.jpg
but saving in compressed format .xcf.gz works. xcf is corrupt, xcf.gz reloads as a valid Gimp format. https://i.imgur.com/7YWBuXA.jpg
Probably you will need to do some research on SAMBA shares. Something like this for a starter: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/354462/how-can-i-access-unc-paths-using-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux.
Hopefully, someone will be along with better (Windows) information.

If you don't see the UNC shares in the file selector when you save then don't count on it. But AFAIK you can make a share appear as a lettered drive, and in this case you should see it in the file selector.

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll have to map the drive. Thank you!
