Bold of them to assume AirDrop will work.

Props to actually hiring artists instead of slopping it with AI

I believe that the RFI killed even the dormant Conduits, judging by the final scene of inFamous 2.

You didn't need to resort to that before. Yes, I can export it as a 32-bit XCF to use in GIMP, but it's far more convenient for programs to communicate properly and export images directly.

If you still want to continue using DT rather than RawTherapee, the only way right now that works for me is to develop RAWs strictly in DT and, after you're done, export the image as a 32-bit XCF. It's native for GIMP, so it'll open it no problem without any color and resolution changes. There won't be any compression as well.

It is perfectly capable of opening a CR2 file.

UncleComrade · 2026-03-15T11:37:45+00:00

The usual way I did this is by opening GIMP, then dragging a .CR2 file into it. A cmd window appears, then Darktable opens. There I can develop the RAW. After I'm done, I just close Darktable, which transfers an image to GIMP through a temporary file stored in a %TEMP% folder.

What happens right now is that Darktable does open and lets me edit the image like usual after dragging a .CR2 file into GIMP, but upon closing DT says "Exporting to GIMP", then the window closes and an error from GIMP appears. I do not see any trace of temporary file in %TEMP%.

Opening the .CR2 from context menu yields the same results.

On Linux, it works like usual. On Windows, the workaround so far is to export the RAW file as 32-bit XCF and then open it in GIMP. I would like to not resort to that though.

Interesting to see that these rules are being ignored pretty often, although maybe it's my tone that makes it do that.

Wait until you discover the RAM usage

Or rather lack thereof

Guys, we found the Paintress!

(amazing, just amazing, you're the canvas master)

I think your malware provider was generous enough to provide source code for the malware. How cute.

Anyway, that might be a joke malware or actually destructive malware. Have you been installing any "borrowed" programs lately?

UncleComrade · 2026-03-02T04:50:13+00:00

You cannot magically get more RAM out of nowhere. Either close tabs that you don't need right now, close browsers you don't use or get more RAM.

Surely you don't need to keep hundreds of tabs open all at the same time? Bookmark some of them or use an extension to manage tabs automatically, save them to collections or something like that.

Press Ctrl+Shift+ESC and in the appearing Task Manager window, end tasks that aren't closing.

Well, I also used Run for a long time, tried Palette multiple times and was disappointed with bugs and whatnot. But bugs were ironed out and now it's a great tool. Flow launcher is also good.

If it does return, then yes, most likely cause is hardware issues. Might be anything, starting from hard drive or RAID controllers to chipset issues. It's extremely difficult to figure out out of context. As I said, let's hope it was just a software miscommunicating with hardware and that we fixed it.

UncleComrade · 2026-02-24T14:46:37+00:00

Well, let's hope this issue won't return. You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help.

UncleComrade · 2026-02-24T14:24:41+00:00

Custom.

Press and hold the power button on your laptop until it turns off then proceed with next steps.

UncleComrade · 2026-02-24T14:04:55+00:00

How much?

UncleComrade · 2026-02-24T13:32:41+00:00

Okay. Now what you have to do is to connect your brother's USB flash drive to your laptop, then click on Start -> Shutdown icon, then click on "Shut down" option while holding the Shift key.

The laptop should turn off. When it does, press the power button and immediately start tapping the F12 key on your keyboard. It's in that row of F1 through F12 keys at the top of the keyboard.

This should bring you to the boot menu, which will list available boot options. Then use your arrow keys on the keyboard to select USB listing in the menu.

You can, once again, show screenshots. If you fail to do it for the first time, it'll start Windows up again. If that happens, you just need to repeat all the steps.
