SUMMARY Print Creator Can't Find GIMP 3.0 on macOS. It greys out the directory in the /Application folder. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the Print Creator tool OBSERVED RESULT The binary will not be found EXPECTED RESULT Finding the binary SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: 15.5 (24F74) KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I worked around the problem by editing digikamrc to include: /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS and by adding a symlink gimp-bin -> gimp in /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS

Note: Current plugin code search GIMP-bin as executable : https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/dplugins/generic/tools/printcreator/tools/gimpbinary.cpp?ref_type=heads#L29
The problem will be same under Windows, as Gimp executable filename can include the version ID.
