Had earlier problems, I could not get Gimp to interact with Darktable or Rawtherapee to import my Canon raw files. I was just starting to Learn how to use those programs to create a usable file that Gimp would recognize and import. The PP3 format was not working so I was using the tiff files but now a new problem.
today Gimp 3.0 would not load. the icon was present and the little wheel would spin for a bit but the program would not start. I next tried to open a file using the "open with" function and clicking on Gimp in the drop down. Same thing, spinning wheel and then nothing. I tried to reboot and no joy. I tried a complete shut down and no good. I uninstalled gimp and tried a reinstall, no good. I tried both a snap version and one from the website. I have gone back to 2.10 and it works and I can again import raw files via DT and RT. Not sure what the issue might be and I don't really need the newest bells and whistles to do what I want so I am going to stick with my current version, but I wondered if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and how it was resolved.
