I think I messed with something and now I can't save patterns. I get this error message....

Failed to load data:

Couldn't recognize the image file format for file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Teri xxx.YOxxxxxxxxxx\.gimp-2.4\patterns\glitter1'

Now when I try to add other patterns this message comes up. Help please.

looking at that message seems that there is not file extension for that file (should be something as glitter1.pat...may even be jpg or png, but should be a file extension at the end or file name or save will not work

But is weird that this may happen with gimp 2.4 because if the extension is missed it automatically add "xcf" and save in xcf format (that anyway is NOT usable for pattern)

Anyway try to remember to add ".pat "at the end of filename that may help

I didn't put the .pat on at first like you said. I tryed to do it again with the .pat but still get the same error messages. Thanks for your help with this.

P.S. I wish the was a step by step tut. with screen shots on how to get to the script-fu thing to save stuff to patterns/gradients and misc. If the is please send me a link. Messing with the console is how I got messed up.

if you try to save as png or jpg (but in the pattern folder )what happen ?

then you may open Gimp toolbox and File/preference/folder/pattern...the checkbox "writable" is checked ??(if not you can't add nothing there when gimp is running)
So if unchecked check it!

And try again remembering to add the file extension ,let me know if worked
