Ubuntu 20.04 with Unity desktop
Gimp 2.10.38 (PandaJim with Python 2.7)
Since yesterday I have lost the "Open with GNU Image Manipulation Program" for jpg, png and gif files when I am in the files menu. (tif files open normally.)
However, if I click on a thumbnail for these file types on the Unity desktop I get the option to open with Gimp.
In the gimp.desktop file there are: image/jpeg; image/png; and image/gif;
In ~/.config/mimeapps.list I can see image/jpg=gimp.desktop; image/png=gimp.desktop; and image/gif=gimp.desktop;
In addition there are numerous entries of the form: image/jpeg=GIMP-2.10.21.desktop which I suspect are obsolete as there is no GIMP-2.10.21.desktop file, only a
gimp.desktop
The only changes I have made are to fit a second monitor and to install XnView MP.
I have spent many hours searching the internet without finding a clue as to what may be the problem!
Any help most gratefully received!
David.
