The issue has been solved. It was caused by directing the plug-ins folder (via Preferences) to a directory in which I’ve been collecting GIMP plug-ins from various sources. Usually, if one of these plug-ins was outdated, it simply wouldn’t run. This time, however, the entire program was compromised.
After removing the offending directory, everything once again works as it should. > On 01 Feb 2017, at 09:16, Partha Bagchi <parth...@gmail.com> wrote: > > This typically means that some dylib is preventing those plugins from running. > > Please do the following.
