Re: GIMP 3.0 Released

@mikewalsh thanks, I tried your portable but it needs the same trick as the official appimage to run on my system: env -u LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./LAUNCH &.

I've been using 2.10 for some time, so I don't mind the flat appearance; but I dislike dark themes.

Re: GIMP 3.0 Released

To make GIMP 3.0 work on my Fatdog64 system I must run:

env -u LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./GIMP-3.0.0-x86_64.AppImage # unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH to run

However, this doesn't work:

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib64" ./GIMP-3.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

What puzzles me is the latter LD ...

Re: GIMP 3.0 Released

Yeah, I use the 2.10.25 appimage on Fatdog64 too, even though the repo carries a newer package, 2.10.32, and the official 2.10 series EOL version is 2.10.38. I prefer the older appimage because it includes some plugins I use.

Re: GIMP 3.0 Released

Release notes page: https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.html

3.0 is built on GTK3: another nail in the GTK2 coffin. Unfortunately the appimage doesn't work on Fatdog64-903. It starts but then hangs without displaying the GIMP GUI, and one has to kill the appimage.
