I hate this so bad, I think of dumping Gimp.   I don't know what is responsible
for this change, but I hate it.   I have found that there *is* another choice
under the GIMP files choice, it is All Files *.*   and then you just type in
.jpg after the pic you are downloading.    If even tries to get my pdf files.  
:(       So this does work, but just one more pain that windows 10 has
created... now if I do that, and can only get it saved into the file of MY
choice (which I have my preferences set to) before it blinks and sends it off
where it thinks it should go.....   I will never buy another windows product...
never.... so sick of someone else deciding they know what I want to do, and
going ahead and doing it  :(
