Sally, if you had said you had two versions running I would have been impressed. But you have 3 versions, wow!
That's encouraging!
rich2005, in the distant past and lost in memory and certainly not on this computer I used a regular installation of GIMP.
But definitely since I started using version 2.10 I have always used Samj's portable creations. This PC has never seen a regular version of GIMP. (Not even my previous PC)
But as I showed in the previous post, I definitely have a User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10 User Profile.
I tried to look for an explanation for this and the only clue I got was looking at the creation/modification dates of the files in this folder 11/April/2024 and 25/May/2024.
Relating these dates to my activity here on the forum I found the post:
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Open-with-GIMP
Maybe these folders were created when I used /bin/gimp-2.10.exe (just guessing) <<--
Since I'm using a portable version (C:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\) and I intend to delete this directory (User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10), I don't think I need to rename the profile. Is this correct?
Note: In my interpretation, when you say 'Gimp 2.30', it would just be a typo, and the correct one is 'Gimp 3.0'. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.
Ofnuts, I finally understood this RC1!
Ohhhhh 5 bugs in 2 days is a lot. Not to mention what kind of bugs you found.
I have trouble reporting bugs. I tried once, but I found it too complicated for a non-native English speaker.
So in this case I'll wait for a stable version.
Unlike many, I'm not looking forward to version 3.0 where amazing plugins and scripts won't work.
Lady and Gentlemen, thank you very much for the clarification.

"Since this is a new install try, (1) rename the old Gimp 2.10 user profile, say User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10-backup (2) Delete the Gimp 2.30 User profile User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 3.0 (3) Run Gimp 2.30 to create a new default User Profile. That that should contain all the folders and xxxxrc files."
