Looks to be a permissions issue: Some advice here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5846...gimp-mac-m  See the last comment there which is for bigsur.

Thanks.. But i have the 2.10.30 version installed. 

I read it is nothing to do with the Gimp version more (see the last comment) 

root folders are found under System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy (tab) → Files and Folders (not Full Disk Access)*.

• Network Volumes
  
  
• Downloads Folder
  
  
• Documents Folder
  
  
• Desktop Folder
  

*This is on macOS Big Sur (Version 11.4)

Where you might have to go and give user permissions.

...but then I use linux and do not have such problems.  Back to you will have to wait for a OSX bigsur user to come along.
