I suspected someting like that. (your are talking to the (linux) converted where I have much installed and running from a storage partition).
AFAIK unless you use a portable Gimp you will get a C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ set of files and folders. What does Edit -> Preferences -> Folders show Did you maybe delete the default path(s)
The plugin just copies then deletes to that location.
With Gimp 2.10.22 installed on a Drive F: I can get it working with (just the beginning of the ini file) and the files stored in sub-folders (xxx_resource) under a main folder F:\resource\
Code:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[all]
# enable:brushes dynamics fonts gradients palettes patterns scripts
enable:brushes fonts patterns scripts
addons_active:{GimpUser}/{type}
addons_stored:F:/resource/{type}_storage
menu_location:{<type>}
menu_entry:{type} sets...
menu_description:Manage {type} sets...
dialog_title:{type} sets manager
[brushes]
menu_location:<Image>/Resource
extensions:.gbr .vbr .gih .abr .GBR .VBR .GIH
Ofnuts might have some solution, possibly starting Gimp from a batch file where new Gimp environmental variables are set.
You just need to set the environment variable GIMP2_DIRECTORY to point to the directory that should hold your profile. Can be done in a .BAT, but you can also set that variable system-wide, so that all Gimp invokations see it. If you use a .BAT you have to assign it as the opening application for several file types, while the environment variable technique will work with your current file associations.
