I know the "w" in the file means Windows. Is there a plugin that will let Linuxers display these files? (Kaffeine comes up and says "no way.") If there is, how do I find it and install it? These are from friends, so I don't think they are knowingly diseased.
Both GIMP and Krita will open them, Then you can edit them and save them as jpeg, png etc. I've used GIMP for several years to do this. Also I think XNVIEW (Free Download) will also do it. Hope this helps
