Unclear if this question should be posted on a gimp forum or an xnviewmp forum. Because there may be an obscure gimp setting, I am trying this gimp forum first.
I just installed Linux Mint 22, and then xmviewmp 1.8.7 64-big (Linux) - Libformat 7.220 and then gimp 2.10.36. Then, I used xnviewmp's open with : configure : gimp facility to start gimp from inside xnviewmp by right-clicking on an image. Doing this, gimp opens the image okay, but has an annoying popup message "Opening /home/steve failed : Not a regular file." I have unsuccessfully tried variations of the [ xnviewmp : open with : gimp ] facility. For example, if I instead specify gimp.sh, which contains the command gimp-2.10 %U, xnviewmp does nothing. Alternatively, if I xnviewmp-configure gimp to start with the %U option, then I get two popup error messages.
I would like to find a gimp setting (or alternatively a xnviewmp setting) that will prevent any such popup message. Before posting, I attempted to research the problem. I found similar postings that were not exactly on point. I did notice that responders were interested in gimp's interaction with bash, so I experimented:
I don't really care about opening gimp from a bash terminal. That was simply an experiment.
Is there a gimp setting that will allow gimp to open the image as xnviewmp is directing, without also trying to open /home/steve/'? Alternatively, is there a gimp setting that will re-direct the message to a log file, so that I don't have the annoying popup, each time I xnviewmp-open-with-gimp an image?

- When I start gimp, by itself, with the icon-command = gimp-2.10 %U, there is no problem opening/manipulating images.
- When I open a bash termimal and execute gimp-2.10, again there is no problem.
- However, if (instead) I open a bash terminal and execute gimp-2.10 %U, then I get the error message: "Opening /home/steve/%U failed: Error opening file /home/steve/%U: No such file or directory",
I don't really care about opening gimp from a bash terminal. That was simply an experiment.
