nix-photogimp3

A Nix flake that packages PhotoGIMP customization's for GIMP on Linux, providing a Photoshop-like experience with familiar UI and shortcuts.

Overview

Packages

This repository provides two Nix packages.

• packages.${system}.photogimp3
• packages.${system}.photogimp3-with-plugins

They should work analogous to pkgs.gimp3 and pkgs.gimp3-with-plugins. The plain photogimp3 package is aliased to default, as well.

Apps

Additionally, this repository provides two Nix apps for tooling.

• nix run .#photogimp3-reset
• nix run .#photogimp3-clean

They exist for the reason that PhotoGIMP is not run in a sandbox and, instead, overwrites "$HOME/.config/GIMP/3.0". Resetting re-initializes this configuration directory with the default GIMP 3.0 configuration. Cleaning will purge all XDG base directories of GIMP 3.0 data.

Prerequisites

• Any Linux distro.
• Nix package manager with flakes enabled.

--experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'

Installation

Note

This is a fork of Libadoxon/nix-photo-gimp, same functionality here but without NixPak.

Using a NixOS system with flakes

First, reference this flake as an input.

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";

    nix-photogimp3 = {
      url = "github:3nol/nix-photogimp3";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
      inputs.flake-utils.follows = "flake-utils";
    };
  };
}

Next, add it to your environment.systemPackages or home.packages like so.

{ inputs, pkgs, ... }: {
  home.packages = [ inputs.nix-photogimp3.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
}

Rebuild, and PhotoGIMP should be available via NixOS or HomeManager.

Using Nix profiles

Use this to install the default package.

nix profile install github:3nol/nix-photogimp3

Attribution

1. PhotoGIMP itself was created by Diolinux.

2. Adapted from aloshy-ai/nix-photogimp, if you're running Darwin, that is the flake for you (only GIMP 2 at the moment).

3. Forked from Libadoxon/nix-photo-gimp, if you want to use NixPak, that is the flake for you (also GIMP 3).
