🖥️ How to Install

This build is all about flatpak, but it also contains "just files" that you can use on any version of GIMP (.deb,.rpm, Snap, AppImage, Windows, macOS). Just check the localization of the GIMP files on every system/package.

Preparing the Flatpak enviroment

• First of all, you need to have the latest GIMP installed on your system using Flatpak
• Install GIMP Flatpak through your AppCenter/Package Manager or terminal: flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP

Installing PhotoGIMP

Inside the .zip file from the releases page you'll find three hidden folders (on Linux, using the dot before it's name). All of these folders have to be extracted on your /home/$USER folder, overwriting everything if you already have the same files from an older installation.

The file contains these directories:

• .icons (which has a new PhotoGIMP icon)
• .local (which contains the personalized .desktop file)
• .var (which contains the flatpak patch customization for GIMP 2.10+)

If you just want the PhotoGIMP customization without changing the original GIMP icon and it's name, just extract only the .var folder to your home directory.

Want to use on Windows, macOS or Ubuntu(Snap)?

Since it's just files, the only thing you need to do is to copy all the files that reside on a particular folder from this patch /.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10 to the the GIMP's folder on each particular system, overriding the existent ones:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\GIMP\2.10

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/

  This one-liner will do the job: download release 1.0 into Downloads folder, unzip and copy patch files, then remove previously downloaded zip:

  curl -L "https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases/download/1.0/PhotoGIMP.by.Diolinux.v2020.for.Flatpak.zip" -o ~/Downloads/PhotoGIMP.by.Diolinux.v2020.for.Flatpak.zip && unzip ~/Downloads/PhotoGIMP.by.Diolinux.v2020.for.Flatpak.zip -d ~/Downloads && sudo cp -R ~/Downloads/PhotoGIMP\ by\ Diolinux\ v2020\ for\ Flatpak/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10 && rm ~/Downloads/PhotoGIMP.by.Diolinux.v2020.for.Flatpak.zip
  

  Notice: GIMP on macOS are a bit late on it's release. This way, this patch still works, specially on the shorcuts matter, but somethings, such the toolbox organization, will not work properly. Until macOS's version reaches the version 2.10.20, expect this behavior.

• Ubuntu (Snap): /home/$USER/snap/gimp/47/.config/GIMP/2.10/

• Regular Linux Installation (.deb, .rpm): /home/$USER/.config/GIMP/2.10/

The new icon will only work through the patch extration process on Linux enviroments, but you can set it manually on your system.
