After Mint update I can no longer name files to save

I do not have a Mint 22.3 for a try-out.  For backward compatibility the appimage comes from an old ubuntu 22.04.  There is a Gimp 3.0.8 coming soon and that will probably kill off my appimage anyway.

Backward compatibility is also the problem with the gimp.org 3.x appimages, Generated with a Debian "bookworm" base so to compile gmic or resynth plugins you need a working Debian 12 / Gimp 3 for that mix.  That has defeated me. No use using Debian 13, I tried.

Some alternatives: 
Get the flatpak Gimp 3, that seems to have dedicated gmic and resynth packages.

For older python plugins the ivan-hc appimage might work (I have not tried it) https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage...ous-hybrid   but not compiled plugins.

I might be worth installing a regular Gimp 3 from a PPA  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...ntu/gimp-3  I use one of those for compiling gmic and resynth.  

If & when I upgrade to kubuntu 26.04 that will come with Gimp 3 anyway, probably the same with the next Mint.

I didn't forget about the guarantee, Rich.  It's disappointing though, eveything still works with both the 2.10.38 and the 3.0.6 AppImages except the ability to rename files, which is a huge detriment. 

I don't think I wish to get into Flatpaks and I've done PPA's and didn't like the clutter and dependencies and issues that all of that brought in.  I also don't wish to downgrade Mint back to 22.2 so, my options are becoming fewer.

The damn 3.0.6 AppImage provided by Gimp.org is useless since I don't use Debian. As much as I hate to do it, I suppose I'll just downgrade Gimp down to 2.10.36, which does happen to still be in the Mint 22.3 Software Manager, a  regular install, and do away with all the AppImages and wait until the next version of Mint is released and hope it has a functioning Gimp 3 release that can be used that isn't just a Flatpak version.

Thanks for all your help with this over these fews years. I appreciate the time you spent fixing up the AppImages for usage.  All good things must eventually come to an end, I suppose.
