I created a separate branch in PhotoGIMP to slowly solve these problems without compromising the current project.
All approved changes will eventually be merged into the master.

In this repository I also plan to update the list of available plugins, sources, improve the availability of documentation and installation.
So far I focused on cleaning cached Gimp files inside the project and make it easier to modify the theme as a Gimp Dark Theme extension.

Currently its structure is designed to facilitate the copying of files and extraction for installation on Linux.
And despite the workarounds found, this makes it difficult to package other versions.

First this repository will focus on flatpak packaging. Then we should make the project available via Flathub through the Diolinux/Flathub repository. For those interested in helping with this I suggest we start working on the manifest file.

This also new issues for questions of which fonts and plugins will be included by default. Which ones are optional?
New splash art will also be required for this version.

Remember, the project is designed to be available on the major platforms that the Gimp is available on.
The unexpected popularity of the project to the general public also created the need to make the project easily accessible.

P.S.: avlye is a word that describes something undefined. It can be renamed and it is not related to the version name of PhotoGIMP.
