So im on a new computer - Mac Sonoma M3 chip and use Gimp not very often and have the following question. Ive previously used Gimp on a T2 MacBook Pro. Now on this new Sonoma, when I use Gimp, I see this:
" Last login: Tue Apr 2 09:25:34 on ttys000
wmmbp@T-MacBook-Pro ~ % /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg ; exit;
/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg is a GIMP plug-in and must be run by GIMP to be used

It pops up ion the terminal App, in the Dock, in the Recently used / suggested app area.
Why am I seeing this and what does it mean? In my previous OS, I did not have suggested Apps, recently used area activated for the Dock - so maybe it was always running but I never saw it.
so I uninstalled & reinstalled and get same behavior. So unless its a bug or has always been doing this and never noticed because ive never had the suggested and recents apps in the dock turned on, not sure whats up. I also notice the the below in the plug-ins section of gimp Settings:
The pop-up is not surprising but what is seems to say is it’s trying to launch an internally-dependent jpeg library as an external executive called by the terminal shell. That seems erroneous.
