RESOLVED!!

My bad, it seems...

I typically save "master" files to a usb thumbdrive so I won't lose them...so after all of my attempts at checking the properties of all my drives, and trying to open/save with other similar programs (most of which I do not like--XnView is the best by far), I took ...

XnView: MP 0.96 latest 64 bit
OS: Linux Mint/64bit

Trying to rename a file (say,for ex, to save as an original "master" photo so I don't lose it for revising to later changes).
