When I attempt to save an image with GIMP, the save fails and GIMP displays an error message Error while saving <filename>. Could not save image
:
The issue happens when I right click an image and select Open With ▸ GIMP.app. Then, after editing, I choose Overwirte existing file. Worse, GIMP manages to truncate existing files to 0 (during an overwrite of an existing file), so the original file is lost.
Upon exiting GIMP, I can save the XCF
file.
The problem started recently (perhaps since the install of the latest GIMP). The previosu two or three years were fine.
My setup is Mac OS X 10.8.5 (fully patched), and GIMP is 2.8.10 (which I believe is the latest). GIMP is installed in /Applications
(just like past versions). I also tried deleting GIMP from the command line and reinstalling it.
Does anyone know why GIMP cannot save files?
