How to start GIMP AppImage on menu ?

[Stephen Liu]

Hi meetdilip,

Just finished testing to install GIMP AppImage on a newly created Ubuntu 22.04 VM.

Your steps only work on Ubuntu 22.04 Host here, not on Ubuntu 22.04 VM.  I forgot the GIMP AppImage and GIMP icon being download on the Host and shared to the VM.

Right-click;
GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.22-x86_64.AppImage
-> Properties -> Permissions
Eexcute [ ] Allow execting file as programe (greyout)

On Desktop
-> Activities -> [gimp   ]
I can't find the new GIMP icon

I have to perform following steps on VM Terminal;
1)
$ sudo chmod +x Video/GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.22-x86_64.AppImage

2)
$ sudo chown satimis:vboxfs Pictures/gimpicon.png
gimpicon.png

Then on Activities I can find gimpicon and add it to Favorites to start GIMP 2.10

Regards
