Description mojimo 2004-05-09 09:49:25 UTC 
Iam using a czech version of gimp 2 (2.0 and 2.0.1).
If I try to open XWD file I recieve an error message that Gimp can not read head
of XWD file.
Opening XWD in GIMP 1.x was OK.

Hi,

Could you attach a test image, please?

What version of X are you using?

Cheers,
Dave.

Chances are this is the same problem that caused bugs #138178 and #139343. 
Reporter, please see #138178 for a way to test whether this is your problem.  If
so, according to Jernej Simoncic the most recent Windows installer should fix it.

XWD 

XWD is installed on Linux with XFree86 version 4.1.0 but screenshot was taken
from remote computer with Solaris system.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2004-05-11 09:00:35 UTC 
The file you attached is a ZIP file. If you unzip it, GIMP opens it just fine.
Closing the bug report as INVALID.
Comment 5 mojimo 2004-05-11 10:47:56 UTC 
Can I send you a screenshot with error about opening the xwd file?
Anyway, thank you for your time.

screenshot of error while opening xwd file

there is a screenshot of error on windows 2000. I have tried to open xwd file
already on three computer but with the same result.
Comment 7 Sven Neumann 2004-05-11 14:21:53 UTC 
Please read my comment (#4). This file you are trying to open is not an XWD file
but a ZIP archive containing an XWD file.
Comment 8 mojimo 2004-05-11 14:23:43 UTC 
I am no idiot! I have saved it like zip becouse of size.

Comment 9 Sven Neumann 2004-05-11 14:27:48 UTC 
Well, why didn't you say so earlier?

OK, so then the file you attached still opens fine in GIMP-2.0 on Linux. So you
are most likely experiencing the problem described in bug #138178. Please update
your GIMP using the most recent Windows installer. If that doesn't fix the
problem, please report back.
Comment 10 Sven Neumann 2004-05-11 14:30:13 UTC 
Since the XWD plug-in uses getc() to read the header it is very likely that this
is the problem described in bug #138178. Closing as duplicate.

Sorry for my previous #8 report. I have to teach how to report a bugs and
without emotions :-)

Now I have downloaded and installed latest Gimp 2.0.1 (updated installer).
Now it works. 

Thank you very much for your help.
Gimp is great!
