Images do not appear when dragging and dropping images onto GIMP when running application as an Administrator
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: GIMP 2.10.32 (revision 1)
- Package: Installer from gimp.org
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home
In order to export game textures inside protected directories (e.g Program Files) I run my program in Administrator mode to prevent the program saying "permission denied" when I export my finished product. However, dragging and dropping the image into GIMP does nothing when running as an Administrator, and a manual import is required (File - Open). This is in contrast to running it normally without Admin privileges where dragging and dropping an image works just fine and as expected. Description of the bug
