Glad to finally hear that :)

Is there any volunteer for testing the experimental gimp appimage and give feedback? If yes, please specify which distribution will be used for testing.

Fedora 24 64bit

That sounds great!

gubuntu 16.04.

Hi Carmelo,

I am interesting in testing the appimage, my system: OpenSUSE Leap 42.1

It seems to work well on gubuntu 16.04! I have some small comments:

* I get the "Should a desktop file ..." install message on every launch, which is slightly annoying.

* The toolboxes were sized rather small on first launch, but perhaps that was something carried over from my previous gimp settings. I resized them larger and the setting was remembered next launch.

* The dark theme is nice, but contrast is too low on some elements. For example, on the brush select filter. Probably not an issue for you though.

* I loaded a jpg, imported to working space, applied a gegl filter, used a mypaint brush, tried a gmic filter, it all seemed to work well, as far as I can see. I don't have any RAWs handy, so I was unable to test that.

I'll be happy to test on Ubuntu 16.04

The usage is very simple:

- download the appimage anywhere on your disk - make the .AppImage file executable with chmod u+x - run the .AppImage file from the console

Any feedback is highly appreciated...

Tested with:
Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit) with Gnome 3.18.5, 16GB RAM, Lenovo X220 Tablet, Intel® Core™ i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4

All works well! Does this contain the MyPaint brush library? I can't seem to find it if it's included.

Also, I only get the message "Should a desktop file ..." on the first run, then I'm able to run the new desktop file like I do regularly (by hitting the Super key, and typing GIMP). The appimage only should be run once, correct?

The only other thing is that running GIMP from the app image is much slower than GIMP installed from repo. That's probably to be expected, I guess, but thought it was worth mentioning. It still loads faster than Photoshop! :)

Thanks a lot for all your work, and making this available to everyone!

It might be that one needs to include the gtk engines in the AppImage...

Is your recipe available somewhere?

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is "Gubuntu" (which is the first time I heard of it)? This search gives nothing specific - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gubuntu&ia=web while this page - https://ubuntugnome.org/documentation/faq/ reads:

« Why aren’t you named Gubuntu?

Gubuntu would sound too much like Goobuntu, Google’s internal distribution of Ubuntu. The GNOME Foundation Board did not want us to use a derivative of GNOME like GNOMEbuntu as our name. Anyway, we think the name Ubuntu GNOME is a good example of the simple usability we offer. »

Please enlighten me.

No, it is run each time, because it does not install anything apart from the desktop file.

I clicked "No" to the "Should I install ... " dialogue, which is why I saw it again (I didn't want it to touch my system). It would be nice if it remembered this as a setting.

The only other thing is that running GIMP from the app image is much slower than GIMP installed from repo. That's probably to be expected, I guess, but thought it was worth mentioning. It still loads faster than Photoshop! :)

This is hopefully more due to compilation flags than the appimage architecture itself. I will try to improve optimisations in the next test version.

I think the .AppImage executable contains an embedded compressed zip file that is temporarily mounted to make gimp think it's installed on the filesystem. I imagine there's some overhead compared to a real install.

appimage gimp did feel a bit slow to start. I would be interesting to benchmark startup.

Hi Andrea,

thanks again for the very good work. :)

The image has installed nicely here on my OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 box, and gimp is starting fine.

However the following is printed during start:

PS: I am running OpenSUSE with KDE, so AFAIK no Gnome was installed.

Starting your AppImage from the K menu also works fine.
