Paint.Net will not open files

[JeffH]

This is the error code I get with DDS, PDN, BMP, PNG, and JPG files, but mostly with BMPs.

 

Application version: paint.net 4.2.8

PaintDotNet.Imaging.UnknownImageFormatException (0x88982F07): D:\src\pdn\src\SystemLayer.Native\Imaging\WICImagingFactory.cpp (902) : hr = m_pImagingFactory->CreateDecoderFromStream( spStream, preferredVendor.HasValue ? &NativeConversions::ToNative(preferredVendor.Value.Guid) : 0, static_cast<WICDecodeOptions>(metadataOptions), &spDecoder);

The file is an aircraft skin from Flight Simulator X (Steam Edition), and the skin turns up fine in-game.  I have also tried multiple BMP, DDS, PNG, PDN, and JPG files that I have previously been able to open with Paint.Net.

Maybe the files that won't load have the wrong extension on them?

 

Try this plugin to see: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31715-whats-it-tools-effect-plugin/

It's probably a DDS that you saved with an extension of .BMP.

[JeffH]

Some of the files in question are from Flight Simulator X (Steam Edition), so, those ones aren't ones I've saved.  Also, I checked with the "Whats-it" tool you mentioned, and it says they're saved with the correct extension of .bmp.

 

 

File still won't open, and shows the error code that I pasted originally.

OK, so zip one of those file up and post it here.

 

Right click on the file, Send to, Compressed (zipped) folder.

Here's one of the files.

733_FUSE_T.zip

That's a DXT3 compressed Bitmap.

 

This program was able to open it:

Thank you!
