We installed Gimp with the systempackage that come along with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2<br />
<br />
As this is a severe security flaw, do you think that the maintenance team of Linux Mint will update the systempackages to the patched version or would we have to upgrade to a higher Mint version in order to achieve this?]]></description>

Incidentally, I tried the option to merge the GIMP menu bar with the system menu bar.  I then turned it off, which didn't turn it off.  I then reset the preferences, which didn't turn it off.  I then uninstalled GIMP (using snap, which I installed GIMP with), shut down the computer, turned the computer back on and reinstalled GIMP.  That didn't restore the system menu bar either.  I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem or not. <br />

Incidentally, the rulers and status bar should be turned off, but they've stuck around anyway.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys,<br />
<br />
<br />
Under Windows, I have been using GIMP for years... actually... for decades. Every new version was a loved improvement.<br />
<br />
I have 2.10 installed on 3 computers... effff PhotoShop!<br />
<br />
But Windows 11 is not an OS... it's an AS. An Advertising System. That's it! Effff Microsoft. In the past I had Linux boxes, Fedora 8, CentOS 4. So I'm back at Linux... Fedora 42 KDE.<br />
<br />
Install GIMP... 3.0.6... What the Hell?<br />
<br />
Default is cut&amp;paste is as a new layer and when you want to move it, it selects the top layer!!! You got to go Shift click so to move the layer you ARE ON???<br />
<br />
The tool tips are mad and there's no way to disable them... if GTK 3 is crap... you don't use it. You're going to irreversibly damage your installed base.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to do a simple livery a racing game and in 2.1 it would 4 to 6 hours. I've just wasted the whole day and I'm barely halfway. 3... is a regression.<br />
<br />
<br />
I apologize but I'm not a happy camper right now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys,<br />
<br />
I run Fedora.<br />
<br />
I have Gimp 3.0.6 installed through the DNF package manager.<br />
<br />
Under Fedora... probably most RPM based distribution, there is no Gimp-Help package.<br />
Through the KDE GUI software installer, Discover, there is a FlatPack GIMP User Manual but, 1- it's 2.1 and 2- Gimp cannot find it.<br />
<br />
So I downloaded gimp-help-3.0.0.tar.bz2, decompressed it but where do I need to put it so Gimp sees it?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank You !]]></description>

			<link>https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Ubuntu-Right-way-to-craft-a-desktop-entry-for-the-AppImage</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:08:35 +0000</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Ubuntu-Right-way-to-craft-a-desktop-entry-for-the-AppImage</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Background: I've downloaded <span style="font-family: Courier New;">GIMP-3.0.6-x86_64.AppImage</span> onto my Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS box, then created a .<span style="font-family: Courier New;">local/share/applications/GIMP.deskto</span>p file with the following content...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">[Desktop Entry]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Version=1.0</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Name=GIMP</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Exec=/home/mark/Applications/GIMP-3.0.6-x86_64.AppImage</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Icon=/home/mark/.local/share/GIMP.png</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Terminal=false</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Type=Application</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Categories=Graphics;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
... and then pinned it to the left sidebar (the "dash") searching for it in the app launcher, right-clicking it, and clicking "Pin to Dash".<br />
<br />
It... <span style="font-style: italic;">sort of</span> works. I see the icon in my sidebar:<br />
<br />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/BpAd6NW.jpeg" border="0" alt="[Image: BpAd6NW.jpeg]" /><br />
<br />
And when I click on that icon, GIMP opens. But GNOME doesn't seem to understand that the newly opened window is associated with the GIMP program whose sidebar shortcut I just clicked on. Instead, it creates a <span style="font-style: italic;">new, </span>temporary<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>shortcut, with a generic gear icon, in the bottom section of the dash:<br />
<br />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/SmVwbcQ.jpeg" border="0" alt="[Image: SmVwbcQ.jpeg]" /><br />
<br />
This behaviour differs from other AppImage-based applications I've created .desktop files for. For instance, if I open multiple windows of Zed, I see three orange dots next to my Zed icon in my sidebar, and I can right-click on the sidebar icon and go to "All Windows" to see all the open Zed windows I have open:<br />
<br />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/8mD9TsS.jpeg" border="0" alt="[Image: 8mD9TsS.jpeg]" /><br />
<br />
How - if at all - can I likewise make my open GIMP window be represented by an orange dot next to my pinned GIMP shortcut, instead of by adding a new shortcut with a gear icon? Is the reason this doesn't work that I have done something wrong in crafting my .desktop file, or is <span style="font-style: italic;">GIMP</span> missing some kind of feature that's needed for it to properly integrate with the GNOME dock in the way other programs do.]]></description>

			<pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2025 20:53:17 +0000</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Missing-icons-in-GIMP-2-10-custom-compilation</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I just compiled GIMP 2.10.38 (under an up-to-date Archlinux) from the sources in <a href="https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v2.10/gimp-2.10.38.tar.bz2" target="_blank">download.gimp.org</a>, after a couple of tiny fix to get rid of some errors, and now I am trying to execute it without installation.<br />
<br />
It seems to work well from the source directory when I run the command "<span style="font-family: monospace;">GIMP2_DATADIR=&#36;(pwd) app/gimp-2.10</span>", but (most of) the UI icons are replaced by papers with gray warning signs: See my attachment "no-icons_warn.png".<br />
<br />
I suspected the icon management to be an XDG stuff, and since I noticed the icons are present in the "icon" sub-folder of the current directory, I prepended the command line with "<span style="font-family: monospace;">XDG_DATA_DIRS=&#36;(pwd)</span>", which changed the icons but not in a way that pleased me: See my attachment "no-icons_cross.png".<br />
<br />
I am far from being an expert about Gimp/GTK and FreeDesktop icon management, does somebody know why the icons are missing? Should I tell GIMP where to find them? How?<br />
<br />
*** Note ***<br />
The edition I made on the sources are unrelated, they are :<br />
<br />
1. Replaced the line 1372 of the file "plug-ins/file-tiff/file-tiff-load.c" by something like<br />
<span style="font-family: monospace;">gdouble xfix, yfix; gimp_image_get_resolution(*image, &amp;xfix, &amp;yfix); xres = xfix; yres = yfix;</span><br />

			<description><![CDATA[Unclear if this question should be posted on a gimp forum or an xnviewmp forum.  Because there may be an obscure gimp setting, I am trying this gimp forum first.<br />
<br />
I just installed <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">Linux Mint 22</span>, and then <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">xmviewmp 1.8.7 64-big (Linux) - Libformat 7.220</span> and then <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp 2.10.36</span>.  Then, I used xnviewmp's <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">open with : configure : gimp</span> facility to start gimp from inside xnviewmp by right-clicking on an image.  Doing this, gimp opens the image okay, but has an annoying popup message "Opening /home/steve failed : Not a regular file."  I have unsuccessfully tried variations of the <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">[ xnviewmp : open with : gimp ]</span> facility.  For example, if I instead specify <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp.sh</span>, which contains the command <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp-2.10 %U</span>, xnviewmp does nothing.  Alternatively, if I <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">xnviewmp-configure</span> gimp to start with the <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">%U option</span>, then I get two popup error messages. <br />
<br />
I would like to find a gimp setting (or alternatively a xnviewmp setting) that will prevent any such popup message.  Before posting, I attempted to research the problem.  I found similar postings that were not exactly on point.  I did notice that responders were interested in gimp's interaction with bash, so I experimented: <br />
<ul>
<li>When I start gimp, by itself, with the icon-command = <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp-2.10 %U</span>, there is no problem opening/manipulating images.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>When I open a bash termimal and execute <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp-2.10</span>, again there is no problem.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>However, if (instead) I open a bash terminal and execute <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">gimp-2.10 %U</span>, then I get the error message: "Opening /home/steve/%U failed: Error opening file /home/steve/%U: No such file or directory",<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
I don't really care about opening gimp from a bash terminal.  That was simply an experiment.<br />
<br />
Is there a gimp setting that will allow gimp to open the image as xnviewmp is directing, without also trying to open <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">/home/steve/'</span>?  Alternatively, is there a gimp setting that will re-direct the message to a log file, so that I don't have the annoying popup, each time I <span style="padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; font-family:Monospace; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: condensed; filter: contrast(60%);">xnviewmp-open-with-gimp</span> an image?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Last night I tried to install the bimp gimp plugin tool, but the make failed since a missing tool "gimptool" could not be found on my system. I also tried to see if the yast2 software tools could locate this tool, but to no success.<br />
<br />
Now whenever I start up gimp, I hit a delay around 30 seconds or so then the following message appears:<br />
<br />
gui_dbus_name_lost: the name "org.gimp.GIMP.UI" could not be acquired on the bus.<br />
<br />
running gimp with the --verbose option shows:<br />
<br />
INIT: gimp_initialize<br />
INIT: gimp_real_initialize<br />
gui_dbus_name_lost: the name "org.gimp.GIMP.UI" could not be acquired on the bus<br />
<br />
And the about 20-30 sec delay is occurring here.<br />
<br />
Since I have removed and reinstalled all the gimp software using the software manager, I don't believe that this problem is with the gimp software itself but lies somewhere else.<br />
<br />
Is this the correct forum to ask this question? Or perhaps try a GNOME forum?<br />
<br />
The 30 second delay is not tolerable, especially when I had over 24 gimp photos to redo just this morning.<br />
<br />
Thanks for suggestions.<br />

I have a fully functional gimp - PandaJim 2.10.38 running on Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 2.7 and G'mic.<br />

But I can find no evidence of an Appimage loader and my .desktop file points directly at gimp 2.10.<br />
<br />
The .desktop file is attached.<br />
<br />
The reason I enquire is because I am considering putting a second SSD in my laptop and then trying to achieve the same result with Ubuntu 22.04 or even 24.04.<br />

That is lost now. <br />
<br />
Pls GIMP manufacturers don't do this. When not broken do not fix it, the version I had was OK.<br />
<br />
How can I roll back to the version that worked for me. I do not know the number, just the previous one.<br />
<br />
Current (not wanted) version 2.99.19]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I am running Gimp 2.10.38 on a PC running UBUNTU 24.04. Gimp is on a SSD with the other apps and my photographs are on a 2Tb HD with other data. When I try to open a photograph in Gimp, it recognises it but says "Reading permission denied" I can open the file which is a jpg in other programmes with no problem. I put one of the photographs on to a USB stick and checked the properties which included permission for read and write. I tried to get Gimp to read it but got the same response. I tried the USB stick on another computer running Windows 10 and Gimp on that PC accepted the file with no problem. What am I missing here ?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have updated GIMP (Panda Jim) to 2.10.38.<br />
Is it possible to update the Appimage loader to correspond? (gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-Ubuntu.Appimage)<br />
<br />
I have tried extracting the Appimage, but could not see where to make the necessary changes.<br />
<br />
I am running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Unity desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to 22.04 (or 24.04) whilst retaining Python 2.7?<br />
<br />
Any help and advice greatly appreciated.<br />
