Hello


I have had the same problem. What worked for me is the following:

Go to the archive (jpg, png, etc.), 
properties (right button), 
"to open with", and 
change the default application to Gimp (and set it as default), 
back to work (in Writer, Impress, etc.), and, 
you will be able to open the image with Gimp.

I hope this will be helpful for you and others.

Greetings from Chile.
