Re: [Gimp-user] Can't install on OS Catalina

Yes.  Open GIMP; also if you cannot access e.g. Desktop files with the File → Open dialog, you can drag a 
Desktop file icon to the GIMP window to open it.

This is a fault of the GIMP (GTK?) File → Open dialog; in MacOS, if you try to access a “protected" directory 
(Downloads, Documents, Desktop, …) a requester *should* *open*, asking if you want to give your program full 
disk access, and transferring you to System Preferences → Security & Privacy when answering “OK”.  Please, 
change this behaviour.
