Gimp 2.10 stalling while rescaling image
#6
Don't remove your existing Gimp, any reference to removing old version probably applies to Partha versions.

By default it installs in a folder C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.10.22\ and uses your existing user profile, so it should pick up any existing settings. Example: https://i.imgur.com/eIGVNuK.jpg

Is it different from the gimp.org version? Well partha compiles it from the same source so it is Gimp 2.10.22 You can see obvious differences Python is 2.7.8 versus 2.7.18 (not a bad thing) Digging into the files, looks like many are static (everything bundled in) versions, rather than dynamic (collection of individual files). Example: https://i.imgur.com/CEWiIS6.jpg Does not make any difference in use.

Snags: It incorporates several extra plugins, good and bad. Resynthesizer and a reasonably up-to-date gimp_gmic_qt - good but then a section of python plugins that link to some old PS plugins that the user might download. Not a problem, ignore then or delete them. The only real troublesome one is NufRAW which will stop Gimp importing a SVG file. (I use NufRAW in linux and have it disabled until required to import a RAW image).

It is just a suggestion. I can only try this in an old Win10 virtualbox VM. Not updated, the way MS updates that takes far to long. It might make no difference to your Gimp crash issue.
