Changing the /'s to \'s gives gimp's Open Image dialog something it understands.

I'm wondering what filesystem Q drive is formatted with? Is it a filesystem windows doesn't understand but Gimp does?

Drive Q is an external (USB) SSD, NTSB.
The issue, such as it is, has the feel of a shortfall in parsing the file path.
If I must complain, I suppose I could claim gimp ought to have told me it disliked my file path.
Of course, if gimp calls a built-in Windows parser, it relies on error status from the parser.  If the parser reports there is nothing in the field, gimp can do nothing.
