Gimp on Windows 7 not Recognising PNG, JPG, etc.
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista x86 to Windows 7 x64, and am in the process of reinstalling my old programs and restoring my settings. I had reinstalled The GIMP (version 2.6.7, x86 version) and was about to use it when I found that it couldn't handle any image files at all, other than XCF. I could neither open nor create any file other than the default GIMP XCF file format.
I had tried anything I could have thought of, including reinstalling GIMP and associating the files, and transferring the old settings and binaries that had worked (the old plugins library, program files folder, etc.) from my Windows.old folder into my new Windows installation, to no avail. I'm not sure what I'm missing here, or what's being incompatible here.
I frequently use The GIMP for photo-editing work and I am absolutely lost without it. Could someone help me out here? Thanks.
