maybe 32 bit is the problem on the company system.
Edit: just loaded up a Win7 64 bit VM / Gimp 2.10.32 Installed BIMP. Moved the bimp plugin to the user plugins folder. Seems to be working here, at least it shows in the menu and opens.

Thanks Rich, I'll look into it tomorrow

Export a typical curve from Gimp. The default destination is in the Gimp user profile. I usually put somewhere more convenient. Any name does. It is a text file.
In BIMP
Use the built-in procedure Color Correction and chose the curve.
Other ways: BIMP can call the gmic plugin. Various options there. It is possible to apply a CLUT to the images.

So this one gave me a lot works... (yes work-s plurial )  Did not work at all tried to rename even with extension....

Then after a while... the time it took for my tiny bulb to lights on, I checked the BIMP version I did have, it was 2.4, went back to the github, follow instruction to compile, then discovered I had a missing lib....  install it...

And now it works like a charm with the saved curves' file.  

Thank you so much Rich!

Wow that's super cool!

Did downloaded, opened the ofn-settings-cleaner.ini and saw you did put only ~40 filters to clean, and in my directory "filters" I had something like >110
thus I did some "check" and discovered few things that might be useful for your users if add it in your ofn-settings-cleaner.html / guide on "how to", as well as for the reader of this post to clean your own filters.

First thing if you never used a filter, it will not go inside that folder "filters", which could mean that a Ctrl+A > Delete will work for a brute reset/deletion of your settings and have a clean slate
   

But it also means that each of us has a different list of filters to clean.

Thus I opened terminal in that folders (filters) ("File > Open Terminal" while I'm in the filters' directory) then input

Code:

ls > all

this create a list of all filters name which I already use in a file called "all" (windows users better you put an extension like ".txt")
then I opened the "all" file with Pluma (a text editor), removed the "all" name on the top of the list and launch a search and replace
Search: \n
Replace: ]\n[
Note: \n is for "newline" , so what it does, it searches for newline mark (that we don't see), put a close square bracket, put the newline mark, and start the newline(next line) with an opening braquet
On windows I'm not sure if you need to add \r for the return carriage, if so \n become the new line feed? not sure so just telling to you windows users. you might want to search on google about: "CRLF" if \n does not work in the search/replace of your text editor

Once done I just have to input the first and the very last bracket once it's finished to replace
   

And Voila... my own list to clean and past in the ofn-settings-cleaner.ini (don't forget to delete the file "all" or whatever you named it in "filters")  
I did not cleaned/use it yet, though. I want to save some settings under a proper name first

Thank you so much Ofnuts for this script!
