[V8i SS10] SID image file - "The file type is not supported"

I need imagery from Tennessee for a project that has come my way.

I was able to download SID files (sid/aux/sdw/sid.aux.xml) for the area of interest, but I can't attach them. I can select them for attachment, but then I get an error "The file type is not supported - [13]"

I thought we could use SID images? Are there versions that aren't compatible with V8i-SS10? Am I missing a step?
Other people are waiting on me for this imagery, and I have no idea how to get it.

  • have you tried it with connect this will probably if it works,  show its a new version of sid, do you  have freeware irfanview it will analyze  your sid  file  so you will know what version it is  for later clarification of compatibility.. meanwhile if it  works with connect, then use the  raster manager to export it to tiff or ecw, ie something others will be able to use in the older products
