No BIMP extension in GIMP > file

[speedbiker]

Unfortunenatly I have a problem to get BIMP running on my Mac Monterey 12.6.9 OS.
I can install it by using the install-file and the issue out of readme.txt file is shown, which I do allow:

You may encounter a Warning message when opening GIMP the next time ("BIMP cannot be opened...").
In this case, click "Cancel" and close GIMP. Then open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab.
Click "Allow Anyway" to unlock the BIMP executable.
Open GIMP again, this time the Warning message lets you click the "Open" button and continue.

But anyway, when loading GIMP afterwards, there is no extension unter "File" shown to run BIMP.

Can anyone help me to get this extension run?

THIS A WORKAROUND by another user i try and it works for me:

Many plugins have been broken by GIMP's 2.10.34 new building system. It seems to be generating broken paths for the GIMP.app lib folder. This way many dynamic libraries are not found, and it causes the plug-ins that rely on them to fail.

Here's what I did to workaround the problem:

Moved the GIMP.app to the /Applications folder (it was in a subfolder before)
Renamed GIMP.app to GIMP-2.10.app
Opened a terminal and typed the following commands:
cd /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib
mkdir lib
cd lib
ln -s ../* .

I reviewed your suggestions, but some points are unclear for me:
On my Mac, the GIMP.app can be found under the path Library > programmes > GIMP There is no subfolder explicity shown there, just when I click with the right mouse tab on this file and choose "show packet content" subfolder "Contents" is shown. But, the GIMP.app itself is located under above shown path.
Should I run the commands anyway?
