Issue with Gradient Flare -Filter- Wrong color & missing Presets - ldd2 - 11-18-2025
Hi.
I've recently updated from GIMP v3.0.2. up to v3.0.6
In v3.0.2 I used Gradient Flare and it usually showed a default small "Sun" on hot spot which could be increased in size
Now, in most updated version I get some sort of Pinkish(?) gradient flare effect.. And there're no presets to change in "Selector" tab as I used to see in v3.0.2
Picture to prove it:

I'd appreciate some help in this situation and in case it happens to somebody else, please let me know.
Couldn't find much about this issue aside of: Missing options in Gradient Flare (#640) · Issue · GNOME/gimp-help
And if there's some date to get a fix for this issue. Thanks a lot.

Remember that in the "Selector" tab you can pick the source/flare shape, and you can create/edit your own...

I have tried out the plugin from Gimp 2.10 / 3.0.2 / 3.0.6 and I can not find any difference between them using the same default settings. Filter colour can change depending on the layer.

No presets ? Have you deleted them ? Maybe time for a reset. Try deleting the pluginsrc file in your User profile. Start Gimp to rescan and make a new file.

Also in the user profile, the folder .....GIMP/3.0/plug-in-settings/ which keeps .....settings... Including these two files.
GimpProcedureConfigRun-plug-in-gflare.default
GimpProcedureConfigRun-plug-in-gflare.last
Have a look in those as well.

Hi, I've done the stuff you mentioned and presets still dont show up. Preferences folder was in appdata folder
I've downloaded a portable v3.0.2 version and it has the proper presets.
