How to open image map file (.map) in GIMP












2















I'm trying to create a large HTML image map in GIMP, using the Image Map tool (Filters > Web > Image Map).



I started on it yesterday and saved the file, it saved as a .map file. I'm trying to open it today to make some changes, but when I try to open it with GIMP, it gives me an error saying "Unknown file type".



How can I open the image map file that I saved?

          1. Open GIMP

          2. Open the image for which the map belongs

          3. Open the image map filter (Filters->Web->Image Map)

          4. In the image map dialog, do File->Open and choose your map file


          This should solve it :)
