It works! Thanks so much.
Initially I followed the path you gave, which was missing the final folder location. I blindly copied and followed the path. I was using the 'sudo' file manager, so I did not want to deviate at all. This raises a question: should I remove the 7 files from the earlier place that is wrong?
And I didn't read the names that closely, so I missed that file name was already present.
I was asking how you know because it doesn't help me in the long run if I don't understand how you know all of this, if every time I need something you just give me the answer. It would be nice if I understood how you know this.
And yes I am using Mint 18.0, not 18.3, which already has the Flatpak system set up. Given all the issues getting stuff to work with Flatpak, I wonder if it was a good idea to make current Gimp versions for Flatpak.
