[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.9.5 rechecking files every time when I launch it

Best guess:

Gimp 2.9.5 will migrate the Gimp 2.8.x resources from the Gimp 2.8 profile to
the Gimp 2.9.5 profile.

The Windows Gimp 2.9.5 profile is well and truly hidden from regular Win users.

Go to C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.9\... which has sub-folders for
resources + Gimp configuration files. see: example attachment, brushes migrated
from Gimp 2.8

Probably some plugins / scripts / fonts in there that do not agree with Gimp
2.9.5

Start with a clean sheet.

1. Delete the Gimp 2.9.5 profile folder
C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.9\

2. Temporarily rename your Gimp 2.8 profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 to
disable it and prevent migration. say C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak

3. Start Gimp 2.9.5 to create a new basic Gimp profile.

4. Rename your 2.8 profile back to original name.

Does it make any difference?
