I've used the Mac port of GIMP for a while and wanted to try the Windows version under Crossover to avoid the frequent crashes when running GIMP with X11.
I can install the program on my Macbook with 10.6.4 and COM 9.1. I put it in its own bottle. GIMP starts up and looks like it's working, but I can't open or save files in a variety of formats, including BMP, JPG, PNG. It appears to only want to see XCF images. I've seen threads on GIMP forums similar to this that point at making sure the GIMP preferences include the correct path to the GIMP plug-in folder, but my installation did seem to have the correct folder, along with a COM plug-in folder. Anyone else seeing this problem? If you can't save in other formats, how does GIMP get a Gold rating?
TIA for any help.
