I have opened an image from my computer. I wish to use the path tool to outline part of it. However when I select the path tool, there is a circle with line through it. when I try to use context sensitive help, the message says unable to use path tool on this image. It's been a while since I've used Gimp. I have Partha's version of 2.10.12 installed. I'm on Windows 10 pro, version 1903 platform.

When starting a new path make sure you are in Design mode in the Path Tool options
