how to make gimp an external editor on rawtherapee

Hi all,

I am working on a macOS ventura 13.6.7, trying to link gimp 2.10 as my external editor onto rawtherapee 5.10. On rawtherapee, I’ve open preferences > gone to external editor and made the command as follows /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/gimp-console-2.10.

However when I click the palette icon on rawtherapee, a popup comes up saying rawtherapee quit unexpectedly.

I’ve also used the following 3 GIMP profiles as per this article https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/GIMPProfile/ to see if it works, but it cannot start editor. I’ve also put my actual ID in the profile.

  • /users/{your_id}/Library/GIMP/2.10/
  • /users/{your_id}/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/
  • NSApplicationSupportDirectory/GIMP/2.10

I am wondering if anyone can help me with my command. Thank you!

In my setting

Name: GIMP
Command: /Applications/gimp.app/Contents/MacOS/gimp

And GIMP starts normally.

@yasuo is right, just point to gimp executable. You should not point to gimp-console since it have no GUI after all and will not work just calling it without parameters.
