public static List<File> expand_to_files (string path) throws Error
Paths as stored in the gimprc have to be treated special.
The string may contain special identifiers such as for example "${gimp_dir}" that have to be substituted before use. Also the user's filesystem may be in a different encoding than UTF-8 (which is what is used for the gimprc).
This function runs path through [func@Gimp.ConfigPath.expand] and `gimp_path_parse()`, then turns the filenames returned by
`gimp_path_parse()` into gfile using [func@Gio.File.new_for_path].
