Description

This was originally posted at https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/issues/1557, but this is actually a packaging issue since Pinta uses GDK pixbuf loaders for opening images, and the flatpak package doesn't have a bmp pixbuf loader available (the snap package does support this, for example)

In the original bug report, a comment mentioned that this might be resolved by the Glycin pixbuf loader in the future

Research direction

Start by examining the Flatpak packaging configuration for com.github.PintaProject.Pinta and how GDK pixbuf loaders are bundled. Confirm that the package exposes a BMP loader, then verify BMP opening in Pinta's Flatpak build.
