[digiKam-users] HELP editing images in GIMP or Photoshop

[Maik Qualmann]

Linux Zorin is for Windows switchers and is based on Ubuntu with Wine. I 
suspect it is the Ubuntu digiKam Snap package. This uses a sandbox, so there 
is no access to the file system. Configure the snap package or use a 
repository with native digiKam packages or use our AppImage.
