Problem Summary/Steps to Reproduce

The following command failed when attempting to use convert on an xcf image, generated from gimp 2.10:

convert 20190527.xcf 20190527.jpg
convert: data storage type is not supported `20190527.xcf' @ error/xcf.c/ReadXCFImage/1191.
convert: no images defined `20190527.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3273.

Note that the test image can be accessed from the following URL:
https://www.saxbynet.com/images/imagema ... 190527.xcf

Note that I am able to successfully convert an xcf image from earlier version of gimp (2.8 series) and at least some simple images generated by gimp 2.10. Therefore, I surmise that perhaps the recent changes in the xcf file format may not all have been dealt with by ImageMagick.

Not a bug. ImageMagick is behaving properly. It does not support high bit-depth images exported by Gimp 2.10 and alerts you when you try to read the image. Two solutions. One, save your image in the Gimp 2.8 compatible format or wait for a patch to the XCF reader in ImageMagick. We do not have an ETA on the patch. It may be quite some time before Gimp 2.10 features are supported.
