processes in Whitelist

[Jean Dupont]

Hello,

I'm contacting you as part of the management of a macOS IT estate with an MDM (Mosyle), and I need to know which processes need to be on the application whitelist to be able to run GIMP and its features correctly?

Thank you very much

All the executables that are in the installed tree. What other answer do you expect?

And of course if users install add their own plugins, then the executables in their own Gimp profile.

You could ask the developers, although I think only one deals with MacOS A list here https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html

I use linux but as a reference a Gimp 3 installation in a very clean kubuntu 25.10 VM  pulls in 32 dependencies (list attached) and presumably they might require additional permissions.

Might not be as bad as that. With Gimp running the only "gimp-ish" process I see is script-fu.

It's a lot more than this. It is all the executables in lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/ and prehaps a few more for GEGL.
