GIMP: C, not C++

How are they implement? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp https://github.com/figma

As u/schumaml said already, we have an issue tracker: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/

The former might be something you want to report as an issue at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp, with the XCF file used for your cover image - or a mockup exhibiting the same issue - attached.

As Gimp is open source, I already had a look in the source code but it's written in C, which is different enough from C++ or C# that I have a rather difficult time understanding it, at least in terms of project structure. I'm pretty sure I found the handling of the tool itself in gimpoperationcolorize.c but I don't know where to go from here.

> Gotta be real, Gimp's not that far off from just one guy (https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/graphs/contributors)

GitHub only shows people with an email address linked to a GitHub account in that chart; the last time I checked it was 4 or 5 people working on it regularly, which is still a very small team (none are working on it full-time) so your point still stands (it's a point I've made myself a few times before when people compare GIMP to Photoshop or the like).

Maybe not the best example. The one on github is just a mirror of this one.

Every file that you want to execute has to be in your environment PATH. I would also advise to put symlinks and personal executables in ~/.local/bin and put that to your path. Since your user has ownership over that directory, you won't have any probs with permissions that may or may not occur at all. Since we're talking about AppImage files, you might also want to take a look at AppImageLauncher which does a pretty good job at creating entries for your Desktop Menu for the AppImage files that you install to your system.

I think it's safe to install it directly as it stores everything in a single directory. For AppImages there is also AppImagePool + AppImageLauncher (can be installed rootless, useful for better integration of appimages).

This reminds me of a prettier version of AppImageLauncher. Is there also an "Uninstall" option in the right-click menu of the app launcher?

I'm using AppImageLauncher on Fedora.

"... I recall that this was related to an issue with most Electron apps, wherein the AppImage cannot be integrated with the desktop or the favourites bar. So far we've found that the AppImageLauncher (https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) helps with getting around this!
