batch image manipulation menu item not showing up under File, MacOS Big Sur 11.7

@mstorus I encountered this issue on my machine tonight and was able to get it running by creating the following symlinks and restarting GIMP:

$ ln -s /Applications/GIMP.app /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app
$ ln -s /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lib

@alessandrofrancesconi Looks like there is an issue with dynamic linking in latest BIMP. I noticed that when I run the bimp executable in the terminal directly it produces a cascade of Library not loaded errors:

$ ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/bimp/bimp
dyld[6934]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: <236E0F75-B90F-361A-8D93-BBA512B15B13> /Users/ian/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/bimp/bimp
  Reason: tried: '/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libgimpui-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)

But, these were easy to workaround via symlink.

Thank you @ianpurvis, after creating the two symlinks above I now see the Batch Image Manipulation... File menu item!

I also had problems until I created the two symlinks and now it works great!

All help appreciated. Haven’t used unix in forever (Solaris was a long, long time ago.) Anyway, I’m trying to use BIMP on Sonoma and I can’t create the 2nd link.

% ln -s /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lib
ln: /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lib: Operation not permitted

Doesn’t work with sudo or ln -sf.

Help!
