I depend on geeqie for browsing through large directories of Nikon Raw image format files (*.NEF). It's great software. Fast and clean.
If I highlight any given jpeg thumbnail image, in geeqie, and then use menu item edit=>external-editors=>Gimp I get what I want. Gimp opens with that jpeg image displayed.
However, if I highlight a raw image, perhaps _PIC1234.NEF and then click edit=>external-editors=>Gimp I get a dialog announcing "can't find matching file type"
I tried adding a line to edit=>preferences=>preferences=>Files as .NEF "Nikon Raw Image" and then clicked checkbox "writable" to no avail. So I tried clicking "sidecar is allowed" without effect. Not sure what sidecar is.
I tried appending to MimeType in edit=>preferences=>configure editors=>Gimp
MimeType=image/bmp;image/g3fax;image/gif;image/x-fits;image/x-pcx;image/x-portable-anymap;image/x-portable-bitmap;image/x-portable-graymap;image/x-portable-pixmap;image/x-psd;image/x-sgi;image/x-tga;image/x-xbitmap;image/x-xwindowdump;image/x-xcf;image/x-compressed-xcf;image/x-gimp-gbr;image/x-gimp-pat;image/x-gimp-gih;image/tiff;image/jpeg;image/x-psp;application/postscript;image/png;image/x-icon;image/x-xpixmap;image/svg+xml;application/pdf;image/x-wmf;image/jp2;image/jpeg2000;image/jpx;image/x-xcursor;

huh? I think you're on the wrong forum
Also, which package version are you using? "stable" (the ancient one) or the git version?
My geeqie config is xml... but the prefs/editors/gimp just opens gimp.desktop as text. Does this mimetype work in a file manager? xdg-mime? xdg-open?
Linux mime settings are stored all over the place!
