Nothing special with permissions, link is on the left in home, folder is on right on a data partition.  Gimp opens the contents from home ok.



Which linux are you using? Is Gimp a flatpak or snap? They are sandboxed which might be the problem, or an appimage.

The more info you give the better.

Thank you. 
I'm on Ubuntu Budgie 19.04. Gimp is 2.10.12 Snap version.

I removed the snap version and install it from the repository. Now it works...

Great hint 

Thank you again,
