<p>How is digiKam installed on Zorin Linux: is it a regular
application package, a snap, or an AppImage? If it's a snap then
whoever built the snap may not have configured it with the
permissions to access and launch executables outside the snap.
That sounds like what's happening here. I use the digiKam AppImage
because when I tried using the snap (on Ubuntu) I discovered that
it didn't support the MySQL backend, which I use.</p>
<p>I'd suggest uninstalling the snap and installing the AppImage
from the digiKam web site instead.</p>
<p>You may also want to install <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher">AppImageLauncher</a>
to make it easier to launch the AppImage.<br>

I have installed Digikam on Linux Zorin and so far so good - except
that I cannot edit any of my images in anything other than the default
showFoto. If I go to Open With > Other.. neither GIMP nor Photoshop CS6
is listed as an option. If I try to browse to the executable, the
browser does not give me access to the folders where these apps are
installed. It simply shows only a selection of folders, not the whole
folder tree. If I try to past the path the the relevant executable, I
get an error saying it's not an executable.
I really need access to at least GIMP. I am using Digikam 7.3.0.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
