• Error messages after installing GIMP 2.10.32

    I have had GIMP 2.10.14 running very well for the past 3 years.
    No issues at all.

    Yesterday I read that the Alpha to Logo filters were back and that
    I should install the "latest" GIMP version. I went to the site and
    got 2.10.32. I installed it and when I started it up I got the
    following error messages:

    The procedure entry point g_dir_open could not be located in the
    dynamic link library c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\libgegl-0.4-0.dll

    The procedure entry point g_dir_open could not be located in the
    dynamic link library c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\libgimp-2.0-0.dll

    The procedure entry point g_dir_open could not be located in the
    dynamic link library c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\libobject-2.0-0.dll

    The procedure entry point g_dir_open could not be located in the
    dynamic link library c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\libgio-2.0-0.dll

    After clicking the 'OK' button, GIMP does fire up and seems to
    work, but I am not sure what the above messages are doing.
    Any help will be useful.

    It was a bad move on my part for other reasons. The tools
    came in grouped and I had to ungroup them. But, now, they
    are all in positions different from where they were in ver 14.
    It is a real pain to go looking for them .... any help on how
    to rearrage them would be most appreicated.

    thanks

    I had the same problem with a lot of .dll files, but I can't remember
    the solution.
    Maybe you need to insatll the latest version of gmic, but you don't
    have gmic error messages ( as I had ).

    Have a look at : https://www.dll-files.com/libgimp-2.0-0.dll.html
    You can search on that site for your other .dll problems

    that's a new feature :-)
    Go to edit-preference-toolbox.
    In the middle is an option if you want to use toolgroups and below you
    can arrange them how you prefer them.

    Lisa, You are always an incredible help! Thanks again for your
    reply.

    I uninstalled GIMP, removed whatever residual files I could find
    and then did a "fresh" install of ver 32. The library error messages disappeard. But, I got gmic error messages. Following your advice
    I installed the latest GMIC version, and, lo and behold ..... no
    more error messages.

    came in grouped and I had to ungroup them. But, now, they
    are all in positions different from where they were in ver 14.

    I figured out the ungrouping, but overlooked the arrangement part!
    Again, many thanks for all your help over the years.

    you did all the hard work. I only gave some hints and you translated
    them in a working solution.
    That you also got a solution for a problem ( gmic ) we didn't know you
    could get, is a nice bonus and one problem less to solve.

    I have been working with version 2.10.24 since 2021. Old plugins and scripts are working except some. But there are many problems in the new version.
