GIMP 3.1.2 really hard to control with Appple magic mouse |

I am running GIMP 3.0.4 on an iMac with Sequoia 15.6.1. The last major upgrade to GIMP (presumably to v.3.0.0) made a change to the controls such that all the sliders, mouse movements, etc became far more sensitive (i.e. a small mouse movement produces a huge change) and actually very difficult to work with.
This is particularly frustrating when trying to navigate around a large image by sliding a finger over the mouse. The on-screen sliders work OK for navigation, but are far less convenient - and anyway, this all used to work fine in GIMP 2.
The slider scales for things like brush size seem now to be logarithmic. That makes it (too) easy to make big changes to brush size, but really difficult to select small brush sizes (e.g. for spotting dust on scanned images using the clone tool).
I have dug about in the iMac system settings, and tried all possible combinations of the mouse controls, without any effect on GIMP. It seems there must be a mis-communication between the OS and GIMP.
Any ideas for workarounds or fixes, please?

High RAM Consumption in GIMP |

This week I noticed my system was crashing when I used GIMP. So I monitored it with the Missions Central application and discovered that GIMP was using 9.5GB, even though I wasn't doing much editing. Today I'm using GIMP 3.0.4 and Linux Mint. I noticed that just opening GIMP consumes about 5GB.
I managed to solve the problem as follows:
I went into the preferences section and made some changes to the system resources section, as follows:
Minimum number of undo levels: 10
Maximum undo memory: reduced to 1024MB
Fragment cache size: reduced to 1100MB
I left the other settings as they were.
This reduced RAM consumption during editing, but when opening GIMP it remains at 5GB.
For my current tasks, I haven't noticed any significant performance losses yet. Regarding GIMP opening with 5GB, although I'm not sure, I think it's due to having the following installed:
GMIC Plugin
Resynthesize Plugin
Remove BG Plugin
Several extra brushes
Thank you
My question, however, is this: is it normal to have this %GB consumption only when opening GIMP?
Are the settings I made in preferences relevant?
Here's my machine:
Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45
RAM: 16GB 3100MHz
Processor: AMD Rysen 7-5800h with integrated graphics
Dedicated graphics: RTX 3060

As I expected, installing open-source programs on Windows 11 isn't going smoothly. Gimp 2.10.38 - no (now installed as a portable), Mozilla Firefox - no (won't start, I'm now using Outlook), Mozilla Thunderbird - no (won't start, I'm using Opera, Google Chrome), etc. Gimp 3.0.4, LibreOffice 25.2, FreeCAD, and LibreCAD work fine.
On the other hand, installing Linux Mint on my old PC went smoothly. It feels like I'm using Windows.

Sharpening with Blur |

In Photoshop images are often sharpened using an iverted layer with blur. This gives much better results than unsharp Mask. Has anyone tried this method in Gimp?

Problème conversion de profil colorimétrique - Color profile conversion problem |

Bonjour,
Merci de m'accepter sur ce forum
J'ai un soucis au niveau de la conversion du profil colorimétrique et je ne trouve pas où est le problème
Pour localiser : je pars d'un fichier raw en RGB profil colorimétrique attribué par nikon sur les NEF(RAW) Display 3, je passe par NX STUDIO(nikon) et je convertis le RAW en TIF adobe RGB 1998
Ensuite j'importe le fichier dans Gimp et je le retravaille . Une fois les retouches terminées j'exporte ce fichier TIF adobe RGB, pas de soucis. Mais si j'exporte ce fichier en JPG Adobe RGB il est enregistré avec le profil sRVB IEC61966-2.1 et pas avec le profil de base adobe RGB
Et si je convertis le fichier TIF Adobe RGB avec un autre profil pour impression, et que je l'exporte la conversion est bien prise en compte.
Mais si je veux exporter ce même fichier (avec un profil choisi) et en jpg , il va me l'enregistré avec le profil sRGB IEC61966-2.1 . Je ne comprends pas et je ne trouve pas la solution
J'aimerais pouvoir en format JPG exporter ce fichier avec le profil de base adobe RGB ou un profil choisi et pas qu'il me le convertisse en profil sRVB IEC61966-2.1
Merci à vous pour votre aide , 10 jours que je cherche, je n'ai pas trouvé. Je suis aller dans " settings gestions des couleurs " importation et exportation d'images ", " Image par défaut " j'ai essayé beaucoup de choses mais rien n"y fait

I'm having trouble converting the color profile and I can't figure out where the problem is 
To give you some context: I start with a raw file in RGB color profile assigned by Nikon on NEF(RAW) Display 3, I use NX STUDIO (Nikon) and convert the RAW to TIF Adobe RGB 1998
Then I import the file into Gimp and rework it. Once I've finished editing, I export this Adobe RGB TIF file, no problem. But if I export this file as an Adobe RGB JPG, it is saved with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and not with the basic Adobe RGB profile
And if I convert the Adobe RGB TIF file with another profile for printing and export it, the conversion is taken into account.
But if I want to export the same file (with a chosen profile) as a JPG, it will save it with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile. I don't understand and I can't find the solution: (
I would like to be able to export this file in JPG format with the basic Adobe RGB profile or a chosen profile, and not have it converted to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile
Thank you for your help. I've been searching for 10 days and haven't found anything. I went to “Color Management Settings,” “Import and Export Images,” “Default Image,” and tried many things, but nothing works
