As a workaround for now, if you choose the image format in the Open Dialogue rather than automatically detecting, it will load in both 2.10 and 3.0.

There was a report from a few years ago about not being able to open Google Drive images in #GIMP. The assumption was that there were issues with accessing volatile files on a cloud platform.
The problem turned out to be much simpler - Google Drive returns an ID rather than the actual file name, so our auto-detect function couldn't match the image extension! :)
Thanks to help from Khalid Abu Shawarib, we now use the display-name which works for all files!

GIMP 3.0 will now support loading DDS images with BC7 compression! Thanks to Jacob Boerema for his help and the image testing framework he developed to check for regressions.
(I didn't realize it until we closed the issue, but @prokoudine was the one who originally requested this support a few years ago!)

In between working on bug fixes for GIMP 3.0, I've been trying to learn DDS's BC7 format since a lot of people have requested support for it.
Fortunately there's good documentation and reference implementations! This is my first version - obviously not 100% right, but I think I'm on the right path.

Thanks to @zemarmot's new filter API, we can now import legacy Color Overlay layer styles in PSDs!
I've posted an issue to figure out how to match the other layer styles to GEGL filters, so we can implement them as well. If you're familar with either and want to help, please share suggestions.

More progress on the test Layer Styles PSD importer for GIMP - now I can load multiple styles per layer!

@zemarmot is developing a new API that lets you apply NDE filters in #GIMP plug-ins, for the 3.0 RC2 release.
While testing the branch, I made a quick edit to the PSD import plug-in, and verified we'll be able to load Photoshop layer styles!
This is a work in progress (and I think matching the GEGL filter properties with PSD Layer styles will take some work), but it's encouraging. :)

Since we're focusing on bug fixes for the 3.0 RC2 release, I thought I might post a few of them as we go.
A few days ago, we got a report that Adobe ASE palettes with LAB model colors were too dark on import. It turned out to be a quick fix - the L scaling was correct, but wasn't actually running. I'd forgotten to sanitize the ASE's label when doing the comparison, so some extra bytes were included and the match failed!

GitLab's been down on-and-off recently, which has slowed work on pushing bugfixes for #GIMP 3.0RC2.
In the mean time, I've been tinkering on my Dreamcast PowerVR texture import plug-in. It'll likely be my first image format submission after the final 3.0 release. :)

Does anyone know where I could find good sample images for .pvr files? These are texture image files primarily used for SEGA Dreamcast games.
I'm working on an import/export plug-in in-between bugfixes for 3.0. I have a few samples, but more would be great - there's a lot of internal types like indexed and bumpmap PVRs.

We've been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work the last few months, with bug fixes and API updates.
However, we did recently improve support for loading layers in TIFFs made with Alias/Autodesk Sketckbook. It's a different format than TIFFs with PSD layers, which we already supported in 2.99.
If you have a sample Sketchbook TIFF with layers you'd be willing to share for testing, it'd be much appreciated!

I've been using #inkscape more recently to create some missing icons for @GIMP's UI, and I'm really impressed by how much better it keeps getting.
My computer use to sound like a jet engine when I started 0.91, but with 1.3.2 I can have multiple instances running with great performance still. Thanks to @doctormo and all the other Inkscape developers!

There's always more to learn about how people are impacted by software choices.
We had a user post an issue about the animated credits on the About Dialogue being disorienting. After learning about Vestibular Motion Disorders (https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/understanding-vestibular-disorders/) from @zemarmot, we were able to add code that turns off that animation (and a few others) based on system preferences.
Luca Bacci helped us submit some of this code to GTK to help sync gtk-enable-animations with Windows and MacOS settings.

Denis Rangelov has made a new layer effects icon for GIMP 3.0. I think it looks great! Plus, it's much less likely to be confused for a bra than the temporary filter icon. :)

Question for those who use floating selection: If you have an active layer effect and then make a floating selection, would you expect the floating selection to appear ABOVE or BELOW the layer effect?
(Do you want to see the raw pixels or the pixels with the filter applied?)

Updating the vector layer code so it will compile after 3.0, and thought I'd try out "vector layer effects". Fortunately it works right out of the box!
Vector layers need more UI work and optimization, but I think it'll be a very useful feature when it's done.
