Gimp Terminal message on start up - MAC Mini Sonoma OS - tonenuff - 10-28-2023
Hi all,
I recently installed GIMP on my new Mac Mini with Sonoma OS and on start up of the machine, I receive this message every time on Terminal:
Last login: Sat Oct 28 09:46:13 on console
/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg ; exit;
antonycosta@Mac-mini-2023 ~ % /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg ; exit;
/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg is a GIMP plug-in and must be run by GIMP to be used

Has anyone else had this issue and know what it is? Do you know how to correct it? If anyone knows how I can stop this coming up each time, I would appreciate the information. I ran Gimp on my old machine, also a Mac Mini, but I never had this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Is this when you start Gimp ? Certainly come across that before but only when the user is trying to run the Gimp plugin ("file-jpeg") on its own in a terminal. Plugins run from within Gimp.
Do you get the message using Gimp and File -> Open ?
I do not use MacOS, if you can give more details the better.

Looks like you gimp command runs a (bad) script and not the Gimp binary. What in the answer to the type gimp command in a terminal? And if the answer contains a file path, what is the answer to the file {the_path}?
You should have an icon somewhere to start Gimp? Why are you using the terminal?

This is when I start the machine, after logging in, this terminal file pops up. I have no issue starting Gimp and get no message when I do, this only comes up at that time. I never had this issue before and this machine is new, so I do not know what the issue is.

I am not using terminal to start Gimp, as I stated this happens on start up of the machine. As for your other questions, unfortunately I do not know the answer to what you are asking.

So, that means that something added a link to that plugin in whatever acts as a "startup folder" in your OSX. Can you get a list of auto-started apps?

Thank you! That fixed it. I was able to find the list of auto started apps and there was an added item called "file-jpeg", so I removed it and restarted the machine and the terminal pop up is now gone.
Thank you for the help, it is greatly apprecated.
