How to operate to avoid that message? Thanks Andre den Oudsten

What OS do you use? What version of GIMP do you use? Do you have modification rights for original file? And for full path to image? Aren't there some not-English letters in names of folders in the path to image?
Copy it somewhere else and the t should work.

Gimp 2.2 in Suse Linux 10.0

Thanks for the hint to modification rights! It was a photo copied from a CD-Rom. I learned to check, in that case, the owner rights.

It's probably _not_ "owner rights" that are upsetting your attempts to save the image (back over itself.) Files copied from a CDROM are marked as Read-Only -- because - Taa!-Daa! - files on a CDROM are _not_ writeable. When you copy them down to your hard-drive they are marked r-xr-xr-x (or, for you winderz users: the attributes are set to R/O.) Just chmod the file to 600 (or, ATTRIB -R .)

"Owner Rights" are something else entirely -- a whole separate topic.
