How to Install

This build is all about flatpak, but also "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 this Patch (PhotoGIMP)

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

The file has this directories:

.icons (wich have a new PhotoGIMP icon)
.local (wich contain the personalized .desktop file)
.var (wich contain the flatpak patch customization for GIMP 2.10+)

If you just want the PhotoGIMP custom without change the original GIMP icon and its name, just extract only the .var folder to your home directory.

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

Since this is just files, the only thing you need to do is 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: C:/Users/YOUR_USER/AppData/Roaming/GIMP/2.10

macOS: /Users//Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/

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

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

GIMP on macOS are a bit late on it's release, this way, this patch will still works, specially on the shorcuts matter, but somethings, such the toolbox organization will not, at least, till the macOS version reaches the version 2.10.20.
The new icon will only works through the patch extration process on Linux enviroments, but you can set it manually on your system.
