The issue has been solved. It was caused by directing the plug-ins folder (via Preferences) to a directory in which I’ve been collecting GIMP plug-ins from various sources. Usually, if one of these plug-ins was outdated, it simply wouldn’t run. This time, however, the entire program was compromised.
After removing the offending directory, everything once again works as it should.

This typically means that some dylib is preventing those plugins from running.
Please do the following. Open Terminal App. Carefully type the following:
cp /tmp/runMcGimp-2.9-* ~/
There should now be a logfile in your home folder called runMcGimp-2.9-std-(a long series of numbers).log. Please send that file to me via email. My email is at the bottom of my website.
Thanks,

I’ve recently installed Partha’s GIMP 2.95 std DMG based on commit c2e3d64. Although the original version of the program worked flawlessly, this one doesn’t recognise typical image files such as jpg, jpeg, png etc. When I try to open any such fileI am greeted by a dialogue stating “… Unknown file type”
Subsequently, I also installed Partha’s GIMP-CCE (commit edfde33) version . Same problem: “… Unknown file type”
I’ve no idea how to overcome this. Could somebody please give me a clue as to what I must do? “Thanks" in advance.
