Gimp 3.0.4 - Windows 10 - Always crash/terminates on loading image files

[Grobe]

Hi.

Issue

Gimp initially seems to load normally (no files opened).

However, the following actions cause Gimp to crash and terminate without any error dialog box other than the Windows generic that just say the program has crashed and will now close.

• Drag an image file from windows explorer into Gimp canvas.
  
• Invoke the File --> Open dialog box, select an image file to open.
  

Information about Gimp installation

I don't if spending resources on a "dying OS" is worth the time. But here it goes anyway:

On my workplace, I use a W10 workstation. I have Gimp 2.10.38 and this version have no issues that I'd noticed.

Today I installed Gimp 3.0.4. The only specifics in installation is that 

• Installation method: only for me
  
• Installation path: changed "GIMP 3" to "GIMP3"
  
• Languages: Only Norwegian (bokmål) and Canadian English.

And then

Is this a known bug to Gimp 3.0.4? Link to bug report?

If no - should I post a bug repport for this.

And are there any log files, or way to open Gimp in such a way that errors get logged and that I can help the team ?

You should post a report as an issue: Maybe tack it on the end of this very-very long existing report.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/12626

Using Windows ? Try starting gimp in a terminal with the switch --verbose ( gimp.exe --verbose ) and inspect the outcome. The devs always want the debug stuff but it is not always possible.
