NOTE:  Although the project is very functional as it is and you probably can use it with minor to no problems, it's important to notice that i'm note not able to implement new features or analyse bug reports for now.

Other than that, enjoy Photogimp! :)

## ⚙ How to Install (using Flatpak)



This package 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 location of the GIMP configuration files.



**Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!**



### Prepare the Flatpak environment



*If you have previously had GIMP installed via .deb, .rpm, etc., please ensure you delete the directory `$HOME/.config/GIMP`, as this may cause conflicts with the Flatpak config files.*



1. First of all, you need to have the latest GIMP installed on your system [using Flatpak](https://flatpak.org/setup/)

2. Install GIMP Flatpak through your AppCenter/Package Manager or terminal:

   ```flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP```



### Install PhotoGIMP



Inside the .zip file from the [releases page](https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases) you’ll find three folders (hidden on non-Windows systems as their names begin with a dot). All of these folders have to be extracted to your `$HOME` 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 its name, just extract only the ```.var``` folder to your home directory.



## ⚙ How to Install (others)



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 package `/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10` to your GIMP’s configuration folder on each particular system, overriding the existent ones.



**Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!**



The new icon needs to be set manually.



### Ubuntu Snap



Configuration folder: `$HOME/snap/gimp/47/.config/GIMP/2.10/`



### Other Linux or Unix(-like) systems (.deb, .rpm, etc.)



Configuration folder: `$HOME/.config/GIMP/2.10/`



### macOS



Configuration folder: `"$HOME/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/"`

This one-liner will do the job:

```console

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 && 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

```

(downloads release 1.0 into `Downloads` folder, unzips and copies files, then removes downloaded .zip file)



*Notice*: GIMP on macOS is a bit late on its release. This way, this patch still works, specially on the shortcuts matter, but somethings, such the toolbox organization, will not work properly. Until the macOS version reaches the version 2.10.20, expect this behavior.
