I have just installed shotwell and I'm using KDE 4.6.1 on Kubuntu

the fact that I'm not running GNOME. I assume that the lists of
software available is provided somehow through GNOME. I would like to
know if there is a line that I need to manually add to a config file
to give shotwell the path to gimp. I have not been able to find any
config file syntax documentation anywhere, but I may just not be
looking in the right place. The man page is pretty sparse, and I don't
see anything about config files in the user's guide
(http://yorba.org/shotwell/help/external-edit.html).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Rob,
Shotwell determines the list of external editors to show by asking GLib
for the set of applications registered for each MIME type that Shotwell
handles (e.g. image/jpeg). (This happens via a call to
g_app_info_get_all_for_type(); see get_apps_for_mime_types() in
DesktopIntegration.vala in the Shotwell source).
This page explains how applications are registered for MIME types in the
GNOME world:
http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/mimetypes-registering.html.en
Not sure quite how to make this work in the KDE world, but maybe you
could try running update-desktop-database as mentioned on that page.
Hope this helps -
adam
