Description Neil Henderson 2004-12-21 00:02:41 UTC 
I uninstalled GTK+ and Gimp 2.0.5 and then installed GTK+ 2.4.14 and Gimp 2.2.0 
from the http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html web site.

1. Start Gimp.
2. Click File menu.
3. Click Open.

(The keyboard shortcut results in the same error.)

A Win XP error dialog box appears:  "gimp-2.2.exe has encountered a problem and 
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

The extra information in the dialog box is:

AppName: gimp-2.2.exe	 AppVer: 0.0.0.0	 ModName: libgobject-2.0-0.dll
ModVer: 2.4.7.0	 Offset: 00022e1e

Incidentally, when the error appears I can see and hear the floppy drive trying 
to be accessed.

I can successfully open an image from the Open Recent menu and Open Location 
command.

The same error appears when trying to save an unsaved image.

1. Start Gimp.
2. Create a new image or open a recent one.
3. Click File menu.
4. Click Save (if unsaved image) or Save As command.

(The keyboard shortcut results in the same error.)

Could be a duplicate of bug #161797.
Comment 2 Neil Henderson 2004-12-21 03:21:36 UTC 
FYI, some other Windows Gimp users have reported the same problem (though using 
2.2pre).

Well, the information that we are interested in, is not if there are other
people reporting this problem but if yours is a duplicate of bug #161797. Let me
change this into a simpler question then:

Is the folder that GIMP is trying to open the file chooser for located on a
server or on your local disk? What is the name of the folder?
Comment 4 Michael Schumacher 2004-12-21 12:35:56 UTC 
IMO it is a duplicate, altthough this bug is more generic. Any attempt of
opening a file chooser dialog fails when GIMP is started from an UNC path.

I discovered that my Gimp 2.2 shortcut (created by the installer) had 
its "Start In" folder set to a network share (\\server\folder).  When I changed 
the Start In folder to point to my local disk, the file open & save dialogs 
work correctly.
