Hi, thanks for reporting this. I suspect this is an upstream issue (which can be reported here) and is not related to the snap (I don't see any errors related to snap confinement or some other snap-specific issue) so you might try reporting this in the upstream instead (or searching for existing bugs and adding more details there).

[brunvonlope]

Hi, this was already reported and fixed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/14047

[frenchwr]

Thanks for chiming in @brunvonlope !

[frenchwr]

@bocajdotorg It appears the fix has landed upstream very recently. I will try upgrading the snap in the next week or two and report back here when it's ready.

[brunvonlope]

@frenchwr Seems there, unlike Flatpak, no dedicated channel exists to GIMP Unstable/Development point releases on Snap Store. Do you mean to backport the fix to Stable channel?

[frenchwr]

@frenchwr Seems there, unlike Flatpak, no dedicated channel exists to GIMP Unstable/Development point releases on Snap Store. Do you mean to backport the fix to Stable channel?

@brunvonlope I just re-read the upstream issue. The fix will only be released in 3.2 - am I understanding correctly?

And yes, you're correct, for the snap package we only re-package official releases from upstream (so no support for pre-releases, development branches, etc). However, we do use channels like latest/candidate and latest/edge for some preliminary validation of new versions prior to promoting to the default latest/stable channel.

[frenchwr]

Ok I think I understand now that I have familiarized myself with the GIMP development releases (currently version 3.1.2). To answer your previous question, @brunvonlope , no we do not currently publish these development versions.

[CaseySimiele]

i just wanted to chime in and say i'm also having this issue!

on ubuntu (linux)
there doesnt seem to be a work around, and the app just crashes immediately.

[adam-edwards]

Having this issue as well.
