Hi Mick,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Thanks for taking the time to write out the details and just to the level I need for success. The only detail I had to google is why I couldn't see the dot folder (.digikam) when I browsed to its location. I know know why dot-folders are created and Ctrl-h
toggles their hidden status.</div>

Thanks again,</div>

<p>I have been running Digikam appimage on Mint for a while now. You can store it wherever you like, but this is what I do.</p>
<p>Create a directory under my home directory called .digikam and store the appimage in there, and also future versions as they are released. Remember to modify properties and set the permission to Execute.<br>
</p>
<p>Create a menu entry for it in the Graphics group. This is not obvious if you don't know -
<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Open the System Settings (spanner & screwdriver icon in the main menu</li><li>Click on Preferences > Applets (takes a second or two to open</li><li>Scroll down to Menu and click the gears symbol on the right<br>
</li><li>The Menu box opens, select the Menu tab at the top</li><li>Click 'Open the menu editor' middle of screen</li><li>Now select where to put it, I select Graphics on the left then click 'New Item'</li><li>In the Launcher Properties screen give it a name e.g. DigiKam6.3</li><li>For Command use Browse to select the appimage file you have saved.</li><li>Comment is optional.</li><li>To set an icon click on the rocket symbol on the left and select your preferred icon. The download doesn't come with one but you can download one from here

https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/7085/digikam_icon</a> and save it to your .digikam directory, or just use the default.</li><li>Close all the windows you have opened</li><li>You should now have DigiKam in your menu under Graphics</li></ul>
<p>Alternatively you can right click on the desktop and select 'create a launcher here' and just do the bottom half of the list.</p>
<p>Hope that helps</p>
