18.04gimp

There used to be many tools in the GIMP Toolbox. However, recently after an Update, many of the tools in the Toolbox seems to have been removed. How do I restore the original layout of the Toolbox?

Current Toolbox with less tools:

gimp toolbox issue

$ snap list | grep gimp
gimp                     2.10.18                     252   stable    snapcrafters

I just tried to run gimp from the command line and found the below msg. I also see this msg in other computer.

$ gimp
ln: failed to create symbolic link '~/snap/gimp/252/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini': File exists
/snap/gimp/252/usr/bin/gimp: Gimp-Widgets-WARNING: parse_iso_codes: error parsing '/build/gimp/parts/gimp/install/usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639.xml': No such file or directory
