invalid 32 bit .bmp exports in 2.8.4

creating a 32 bit .bmp file in 2.8.4 is not invalid. The file cannot be read by previous gimp or other programs. Is there still a lack of windows developers? (this is on win32) T.

Do you have any sample files that exhibit the behavior? I just tried exporting some BMPs from my win32 GIMP 2.8.4 and found absolutely no problems. I didn't even have to set "do not write colorspace information" like I did the last time....

Hello:
Yes, I created these in 2.8.4 and they were loadable in the default viewer on Windows7 which is "Windows Photo Viewer".
However, I installed 2.4.7, and it cannot read these files. The "LoadImage()" API function call in windows fails to read these files. My creation is:
new image
size 5x5
color space rgb color
fill with transparency
A bit of drawing and then export to .bmp. Thanks, ... what other .bmp viewers should I try? (maybe browsers) Tomarone
