Looks like a bug with the whole flatpak .var philosophy
A practical alternative, make your own easy to find Gimp3 folder for resources and add the path(s) in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders as required. or go through the whole of the entries fixing the paths.
I'm not bothered for myself, I know to put the scripts/plug-ins in the ~/.config folders, it just strikes me as wrong that the folder shown in the Preferences dialog isn't the one it uses - in fact if I put a script into the ~/.var sub-folder it isn't detected by GIMP. This isn't very helpful to newer users. I will read the issue linked in post #4 and then perhaps raise another issue. If GIMP is going to use the .config folders then it ought to show that this is what it is doing - which average user really cares where the scripts are provided that GIMP tells them where to find them?

Thank you - I did check the GIMP gitlab issues (open and closed) but obviously didn't use the correct search words :-)
I will read what was said in the above issue and then decide whether to create another issue - to the effect that wherever the scripts are GIMP should tell the user!
