There is no RAW loader installed to open 'Raw Canon' files.
GIMP currently supports these RAW loaders:
- darktable (http://www.darktable.org/), at least 1.7
- RawTherapee (http://rawtherapee.com/), at least 5.2
Please install one of them in order to load RAW files.

I am on Ubuntu 24.04.2

I believe I need to install RawTherapy into the "Plugins" folder but cannot locate it's path.

Can any help me with this?

First thing: No need to install any RawTherapee "anything" into the plug-ins folder. The support is already in the Gimp system files.
..then..
What type of Gimp 3.0 and Rawtherpee (RT) have you installed.  Unfortunately 'buntu tends to install a SNAP version or you might have installed a Flatpak or even an appimage. These are "sandboxed" and prevent the plugin working.

Since you are using 'buntu 24.04 you can install a regular version for each from an ubuntu PPA

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-3
and
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/rawtherapee

How to add these PPA's to the repos is on the page.

An example using a lumix .rw2 file.  Open in Gimp which sends it to RT . Close RT  (wait-a-bit) and it opens in Gimp.  40 second demo:  https://i.imgur.com/2ZFcUAn.mp4

Other things to consider, Cut out the Gimp bit. Open in RT and export as a 32 bit tiff - open that in Gimp.
Canon CR2 files ? I have seen reports about problems with the latest version.

That is starting to make some sense because I have had it wrking previously. I will uninstall Gimp/RT and use the launchpad versions and post how it goes. Thanks!
