Two instances,
1) Make a new image and the resolution is set in the Advanced Options (you need to expand it) see: figure 16.6 https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-file-new.html
2) An exiting png image and Image Properties.
This is an issue with png images and stems from the libpng that Gimp uses, so not really in the hands of the Gimp developers A clip from the bug report. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/3360

....Here's the problem line of code, which seems to be hard-coded to mm, instead of allowing a choice between inches and mm:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/blob...ng.c#L1128
Edit: Hmm, libpng has odd choices built in - "PNG_RESOLUTION_UNKNOWN" which seems to mean "inches", or else maybe it means "whatever the user chose", with the only other choice being "millimeters":..

If you want to see the value in pixels-per-inch then you can use Image -> Print Size and change the Resolution to pixels/inch. It does not affect the image in any way, only the information that the printer uses.
