@Ofnuts - just FYI, I note the same error message as Rod in the log file immediately after startup.

Try re starting GIMP again and see if it still errors.

@Rod, @Ofnuts - OK when I restarted but then I did not do anything; I will have another check tomorrow morning after I have played GIMP for a while.

So same question as for Rod.... what are the previous lines? Because this particular message can occur any time and I need to know what the script was doing (which the previous log lines will help me figure out).

By the way if this happens again, can you check if the mentioned settings file exists at all?

Thanks ofnuts. I gave it the permissions and installed it.

How do I know if it even works and can it just automatically delete the accumulated files on start up instead of having to do it manually? I installed the script here: GIMP 2 >lib>gimp>2.0>plugins.

If it works it creates a log of what it did.

That's what it is supposed to do, so I don't understand the question?

Wrong place. It should go in your profile. See the sidebar in the documentation page. Don't forget to create a configuration file (you can cut/paste the example one).

oh, okay. I thought I needed the file but I realized now that I don't need it.
