Bug Description

This appears to be caused by a mime type issue
here is a existing report:
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/45489646-ristretto-fails-to-load-bmp-libmagic-gives-wrong-mime-type
here is the patch
https://git.xfce.org/apps/ristretto/commit/?id=751834055dfc8831bfe06ed5e493c69b8347668a
ristretto really should get this patch, I do not know why it has not been picked up yet
Maybe someone decided to blame libmagic for giving the wrong mime type instead?

This bug is back - xUbuntu 20.04
The cause may be different
there are no errors, when you open a bmp file it open the current folder and shows non-bmp images

I downgraded to ristretto_0.8.2-1ubuntu1_amd64 and it did not fix the issue, i guess that has to do with mimi type text the software is getting

This is clearly a upstream issue, the library is no longer able to even identify a bmp as a image at all
