How to start GIMP AppImage on menu ?

Hi all,

OS - Ubuntu 22.04
AppImage - GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.22-x86_64.AppImage
(download and can be started)

I have created a desktop file;
$ cat .local/share/applications/gimp.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GIMP
Type=Application
Exec=/home/satimis/Videos/GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.22-x86_64.AppImage
Icon=/home/satimis/Pictures/gimpicon.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

On Terminal run;
$ .local/share/applications/gimp.desktop

Code:

 
.local/share/applications/gimp.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found

I can't start GIMP

Please help.  Thanks

Regards
