I'll chime in here regarding my situation... Windows XP. GIMP 2.4.5. Binary is Jernej's http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.4.5-i686-setup.exe Windows file association (for .bmp for my tests) is to "gimp-2.4" (C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.4.exe). Multiple instances of GIMP arise. If I associate to gimpwin-remote (C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-win-remote.exe) then only one instance of GIMP appears. However, there also appears a message in its own window: "GIMP Message Opening 'C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.4.exe' failed: unknown file type" (which can be closed without harm). I don't select multiple images to open at once, but open one image from the file manager, then click on another image to open it. Interestingly, the "GIMP Message" error appears only when the first image is opened. If I close the error window and open subsequent images, the error does not appear again (unless I close GIMP completely, and then it appears again for the first image opened). -- Bob Long _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
