I just downloaded and installed 3.0.6 yesterday after being prompted to install an update. However, I can't open certain files to edit them as I get the following error messages:


Quote:GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
(C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\file-jpeg\file-jpeg.exe)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

GIMP Message
Opening 'C:\Users\USER\Downloads\TestPhoto.jpg' failed:

Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values

I found a thread referencing a similar problem so I checked to see what is in the plug-in folders under Preferences: 
  • C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins (empty except the gmic plugin I tried to install)
  • C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins
This is only happening with certain .jpg files -- other ones seem to open fine. The files in question can be opened with other programs though, including GIMP 2.10.

Can you zip a problem file (so the file is not altered) and post here if small enough or something like dropbox if a large file.
