Gimp 2.10 cannot export work to png or jpg
#2
Certainly something wrong with the latest Gimp 2.10.O windows installer, at least when it comes to a 32 bit installation. I only have a Win7 32 bit (VM) and the Gimp 2.10 installation was strange. Opened with no icons in the tool-box (I think this is a reported bug) Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Icon Theme fixed that.

As you reported an opened image will not export as a jpeg. I think this version is not suitable for 32 bit Windows yet.

Stick with the Gimp 2.8 installation for the moment.

If you want Gimp 2.10 then one way is the samj portable Gimp: https://samjcreations.blogspot.co.uk/201...p-210.html

download is http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/GimpEval-2.10-Win.7z this is a big download 400 MB and unzips (note a 7z archive) into both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Put the 32 bit folder in C:\Program Files\ and make a shortcut to the appropriate language Gimp launcher.

Edit I believe an updated Gimp 2.10.2 will be released in about a weeks time. Worth waiting a week or so.

Yes, but it is a PITA, because Gimp will install over an existing installation.

Rename Gimp 2.8 installation C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 C:\Program Files\GIMP 2-bak
Use the Win10 program uninstaller to uninstall Gimp 2.8, it asks if you want to remove the entry - yes
Install Gimp 2.10 and given the choice, install to C:\Program Files\GIMP 210\
Do not run Gimp 2.10 - rename the gimp 2.8 profile C:\Users\yourname\.gimp-2.8 to prevent migration to the Gimp 2.10 profile.
Run Gimp 2.10 to create a new Gimp 2.10 profile C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\
Rename the Gimp 2.8 profile back to original, rename the Gimp 2.8 installation back to original
Make a new shortcut for Gimp 2.8.
