Does it help if you remove the path to the gmic plugin from .config/kritarc? If not, do you see any intereting output when starting the appimage from the commandline?

Thank you for your quick reply. I've experimented with removing the path and nothing happened. I did a search on my system and found a g'mic krita file and I tried to specify that in that path, but it didn't work either. I do have Gimp and g'mic works on that. As far as the command line, I'm a visual person so try to avoid it as much as possible, I don't even know how to open krita from there, but can look up how if you think it would help. I'm not a programmer and have always loved Krita because it just works.

Well, it's the way to get possibly interesting messages -- that might indicate why the plugin that's shipped with the appimage doesn't start...

How do I run an appimage from the terminal? I'm in the terminal and in the correct directory, but when I enter krita-3.2.1-x86_64.appimage or the same without the extension it doesn't run. Sorry, this is why I avoid the terminal, things that are basic in a GUI get complicated fast :-)

It depends on where the appimage is located. Use "cd" to move to that location. Add "./" without the quotes before krita-3.2.1-x86_64.appimage and press enter.

So, for instance:

cd ~/Downloads
./krita-3.2.1-x86_64.appimage

Thanks! It's a really fresh reinstall of Mint if that helps. Here's what I get:

Um... But that doesn't have the output that's shown when you try to open g'mic yet.

Sorry, I didn't know that you needed that. So here's the output when I opened Krita, opened a random file, and then tried to start G'Mic.
