I am running MacOS Ventura 13.7.1 on iMac 21.5" Model 18,1 with 8GB DDRAM.
I had installed 'unstable' version 2.99.18 prior to installing version 3.0 earlier this week. I had no problems opening psd, png, & jpg file provided they were located on my internal HD. External HDs will not be recognised by either GIMP version.
Today, I downloaded the GIMP Plug in 'Resynthesizer' for GIMP 2. Following the 'Davies Media Tutorail', I installed the expanded .tgz files into the appropriate Application Support/Gimp 3.0 folders.
Since installing Resynthesizer Plug in, neither GIMP 3.0 nor 2.99.18 will open the above 3 file types, on each attempt displaying Gimp Warning windows stating "Unknown file type". A cumbersome 'workaround' has been to open the files in Graphic Converter Ver. 9, copy all (of the file on screen) and then switch to GIMP and use the 'file/open/create from clipboard' command to create a new .xcf file.
I have checked that the necessary file-ico, file-png, file-jpeg, file-psd files etc. are in the plug ins folder.
I will be grateful for any advice members may offer me. My email is <sylvia1913@rtutamail.com>: I don't know how to replace/update my member profile to negate the redundant gmail address which no longer works (another good one, Google!)
Sincerely, Ranger1951.
