Configure programs - gimp won't open any images (MX Linux 23.4, KDE Plasma)

Post by Sprintdriver »

Hi.

MX Linux user here, KDE Plasma v. 5.27.5

For some reason, adding Gimp to list of alternative apps doesn't work for me. Simply put, after I right-click on a thumbnail in viewer, Open with --> gimp-2.0 , nothing happens. No dialog box, no new window. I'd expected that Gimp started.

I'm confident I have put the correct path to Gimp executable - I've double checked by copy and paste in terminal window, and Gimp starts without any issues from within Terminal.

Is this a bug or are there a workaround for this?
