Re: [Gimp-user] Can't read file header
I see no metadata (EXIF or IPTC) in the image provided.

[Gimp-user] Can't read file header
Dear Folks! My problem is not strictly related to Gimp, but I hope that Gimp can help me solve it and I am sure that there are a lot of clever people on this list who can help me understand what is happening here. I have appr. 100 pictures selected from the thousands taken of my wedding. I would like to send them to a printer company, but the software they give cannot use them because of the failure that prevents IrfanView from opening them too. The funny is that all the other picture viewers can open these pictures, including Gimp. I tried to open a picture with gimp, then save it in different formats, but they behave the same: IrfanView cannot open them. I tried jpg with and without exif data, png, tif and xcf. The funny is that if I try to open it from inside gimp by file>open or by drag-and-drop, it opens it without problem, but if I try to open it from the file manager, it gives an error message: Opening 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ábel\My Documents\My Pictures\2009-04-25 Esküvo\p0023.jpg' failed: Could not open 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ábel\My Documents\My Pictures\2009-04-25 Esküvo\p0023.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory One of the images is here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QVOculUehRDqAywlBYIwwQ?feat=directlink What is the problem with these pics and how can I eliminate it?

[Gimp-user] GIMP can't open PNG files? How could that be?
> Well you could check the dependencies, > you could try re downloading the png > libraries (idk which gimp uses exactly) Thanks but the Windows version should come pre-packaged with all dependencies resolved (as in the working Windows XP case I described). See setup file here: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html I only download ready-to-run binaries, I don't know how to build from source.
