Environment/Versions
- GIMP version:GIMP 2.99.19
- Package: MSIX Bundle
- Operating System: Windows 11
Description of the bug
I'm having trouble accessing the gegl-0.4 folder after installing GIMP through the MSIX bundle on Windows. Specifically, the folder located at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\GIMP_2.99.19.0_x64__nq49gba4h4mx8\VFS\ProgramFilesX64\GIMP 2.99\lib\gegl-0.4 is inaccessible, and I'm unable to add or remove files from it.
The gegl-0.4 folder is a directory where custom GEGL filters and plugins are typically installed or placed. However, due to the blocked access, I'm unable to install new Gegl plugin.
