Could not open for Invalid argument - message - Slowroller11 - 08-07-2019
I found some similar error messages in these forums but not this exact one. My apology if this has been answered and I didn't find it. When I export to replace an original image with the manipulated one and I get the message "Could not open (the number of my image file) for writing: Invalid argument".
I have done this thousands of times. I thought it was the file type which is jpeg. Reshot it using raw+jpeg and standard. I tried using some successfully GIMP processed images from a couple weeks ago and got the same message. This began with a newly downloaded, latest version of GIMP on a fresh install of Windows 7. I tried installing the same version I had been last using successfully. Always the same error message. I'm running a new SSD that doesn't have any problems with the OS or other apps. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not a windows user, but heard plenty of stories about Windows getting paranoid about which executables can write in which directories. You may need to review your system's security policies.
