I have installed GIMP through snap, and it works well. However, I need to access with it to some folders and files that are not in my default /home/user paths (i.e. ~/Desktop, ~/Music and so on), some of which are also hidden. Some research (e.g. 1, 2) suggested me that I have to run something like sudo snap connect gimp:personal-files, but if I do so I get an error:

user@pc:~$ sudo snap connect gimp:personal-files
error: snap "gimp" has no plug named "personal-files"

Any particular reason why you installed the snap rather than the regular package(s)? – Siep Sep 08 '20 at 11:20
@pLumo I had already tried it, but it doesn't work for me. – Ntakwetet Sep 27 '20 at 13:18

@Siep Just because I prefer to get the updates as soon as possible. – Ntakwetet Sep 27 '20 at 13:20
