Open in GIMP™ Photo Editor

This Chrome extension enhances your photo editing workflow by allowing direct transmission of image links and files to the GIMP photo editor. No more manual saving! When an image has a valid URL, it is sent directly to GIMP. For images in DATA URL format, the extension temporarily stores them on your system before opening them in GIMP.

Key features include:

Seamless image transfers to GIMP.
Compatibility with images from links and local paths.
Requires the installation of GIMP and a native connector for optimal functionality.

When using this extension, ensure GIMP is installed on your device, and feel free to specify its location if not automatically detected. This independent, open-source project invites contributions from users looking to enhance its capabilities.

User reviews

Works fine if you install the software it says to install with it. My only gripe is that, unlike the other Open In extensions, this one for some reason shows two menu options in submenu. I'd like it better if it just showed one option, like Open In Firefox does.
