Hi, I'm getting errors when trying to import some of my maps into FGU, I'm not sure how or why its happening

Any ideas?

I am not familiar with those errors, and I've pushed this up to Moon Wizard to have a look.

Those errors are simply saying that the image library used by FGU could not read those image files. Either the files are labeled as JPG (and they're not actually JPG files); or there is something about the image files that the image library doesn't like. The image library is a black box to us; so we have no way of knowing exactly why a file is "bad" for loading.

These issues are usually fixed by opening the image in an image editing tool (like Windows Paint); and choosing the File->Save As option to re-export the image as a JPG. This will ensure that the file format is truly JPG, as well as clean up any potentially troublesome metadata in the image file.
