Gimp + PhF appimage, a few observations

[Carmelo_DrRaw]

Hi Brian,

those are very good suggestion! In detail:

@Fotonut

One has to physically launch the appimage, then go file > open, and choose the Raw file. There seems to be no easier option.

I fully a free with your, proper desktop integration is absolutely mandatory for a good user experience.

File drag&drop might be easier to introduce than the “Open with…” menu option, but I will look into both.

@Fotonut

There appears to be no automatically generated .pfi file next to an edited Raw in the file manager. Should there be? Perhaps if that were to remember edits done in gimp too?

The .pfi file gets stored directly inside the GIMP image, as well as in the .xcf file when it is saved. Try to select a layer created with the PhF plug-in, then run “Filters → PhotoFlow…” and choose “Edit current”. The PhF edit should be restored (including all layers, layer groups, tool options, etc…).

I will post some screenshots to explain the steps if needed.

@Fotonut

I don’t think this is an issue with PhF or Gimp, but needs to be addressed before the appimage could be ready for release as stable.

We need to address this issue with @David_Tschumperle and the GIMP developers.

@Fotonut

I hope this helps.

A lot!!!
