@Carmelo_DrRaw, I have some good news of sorts…
I removed the ~/.config/GIMP-AppImage folder, set the req permissions of the updated appimage and launched, all good.
Then I right-clicked over CR2 file and added the appimage as ‘open with…’, and launched, Gimp opened and then so did PhF. All good.
But if I create a menu item for the appimage, and place the icon on the desktop, then attempt to drop the CR2 file over the icon, Gimp launches, but not PhF. So it would appear that maybe the PhF plugin doesn’t support shortcuts?
The right-click option would work a lot better if the appimage somehow appeared automatically in the selection of available apps. Being an appimage, and not a traditionally installed app, I’m not sure if this would be possible, but putting it out there anyway.
I think, most users would open a Raw file by…
- Right clicking over the file and choosing which app from the drop-down selection
- Drag and drop the image thumbnail over the app desktop (shortcut) icon
- Open the app first, then navigate to the file using the apps menu
- Set the appimage as default for opening associated file types
Usually they would opt for the quickest approach to suit their workflow. In my case it would be either (or both) of the first two in the list above. I usually leave the default for an image viewer of preference.
Whilst I’m unable to help in coding, I certainly am keen to help out with testing. If it would be any benefit to you, I’d be happy to install VirtualBox, and have a range of distros to test the appimage on?
EDIT: I should note that my main workstation is LinuxMint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit (based on Ubuntu 14.04).
Cheers,
Bryan
