XnView Software

Hello,

I wonder how it is possible to open an image from within xnview like "open with GIMP 2.10".
My GIMP is a flatpak installation on Linux Mint 18.3
Xnview wants a programme to be entered in the settings but how would I enter stuff like this?:
.
(That's the menu entry)

I just found your post after asking the same question. Since you haven't received a single answer in over a year, I'm guessing the XnView developer doesn't know how to do it. Either way, it would be nice if the dev would at least reply and let us know the status.

I still haven't found a solution yet.
After all I upgraded my sysetm so I can use a normal GIMP PPA.
Still there is a glitch with xnview: GIMP crashes when using clipboard functions when xnview is open at the same time.

Which version of GIMP crashes? 2.8 or 2.10? I had constant headaches with GIMP 2.8 crashing when trying to copy & paste images or layers. I never even considered it might have something to do with XnViewMP, but I almost always have it open on a secondary monitor.

I'e encountered this with GIMP 2.10 on a linux mint system

This question is old, but it hasn’t been answered yet, so here is a workaround that works for me.

Create a bash script with the following command:
In XnView, configure a new "Open with" program that points to this script. The path to the script is sufficient. No additional arguments need to be provided.

I hope this helps.
