The Apple customer service should have told you that Catalina has more
fine-grained control over what folders and files applications can
access, and how you can grant access to the folder for GIMP - if that is
possible.

We're basically hoping that someone with developer-level macOS
experience comes along and adds what is necessary to solve
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3710 - it could be that this
can't be solved in GIMP, but has to be addressed in the libraries we use
(GTK, in this case).


P.S. please make sure that your mails contain both HTML and plain text.
