gimp-temp-160960.exr in GIMP\2.10\tmp - Bill Martz - 10-17-2018
gimp-temp-160960.exr in GIMP\2.10\tmp is 232 MB. Since that is a temporary folder, why has that file not been deleted when GIMP was closed? Can it be manually deleted, especially since I have changed my tmp file to another drive?

The question is have you been opening/ trying to open any .exr files from maybe blender or some other graphics application?
I would say delete it but if you want to be over-careful, back it up first before deleting.
edit: this is what it says about the tmp file in gimprc
Quote:# Sets the folder for temporary storage. Files will appear here during the

# that is shared by other users. This is a single folder.

# (temp-path "${gimp_dir}/tmp")
I have very occasionally found a stray remainder there, just delete it.

Except for a few system, etc. files of small size, I don't have another exr file on my computer. I've backed it up and deleted it. I have no idea where it came from. Thanks for the info.
