Can't import any image files?

Support
1

MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan Ver 10.11.6 Synfig 1.2.2
I cannot import any .jpg or .png files.
I get a pop up box saying:
" I don’t know how to open images of this type–png"
I get the same pop up for .jpg files as well.
I searched Google and here but found no answer.
It is essential for me to be able to import image files.
Thank you I look forward to a solution.

It could be that the file extension is not formatted properly.
For example if there is an extra space like this “. jpg” it will say it doesn’t recognize the type.
Try renaming the file in that case.
