The Error console offers more possibilities than the single "GIMP Message". This is a log of all errors occurring while GIMP is running. You can save all this log or only a selected part.
The "Error Console" dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section Section 2.3, "Dialogs and Docking" for help on manipulating it.
You can access it:
from an image menu: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Error Console;
from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on and selecting Add Tab → Error Console.
