Had the same thing, try this directory: "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe"

Do you ever take an image from RT to GIMP, make some edits, and then send it back to RT for more work? Or do you do all your RT work first, and send it to GIMP to finish your edits?

[@jacobswing]

That is a possibility. My usual workflow is to open an image in RT, edit all the colors the way that I like, then open the image in GIMP and do any corrections (like hair or blemish removal), then any final color tweaks. If you do want to send an image back to RT make sure you save a lossless image (either a tiff without any compression or an EXR file) otherwise it doesn't make sense to open your image in RT again because the RAW data would be compressed and unusable. I hope that makes sense.
