Locally developed programs and contributions from others should be put in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin (the latter is for sensitive, root-only type programs to keep them out of the hands of untrusted users). Make sure that /usr/local/bin is on the search path. A fresh Linux install will still loose stuff you've put in /usr/local/bin unless you keep a copy in a safe place or, better, adopt an upgrade strategy similar to the one I describe here: http://www.libelle-systems.com/free/linux/easier_upgrades.html > But when I choose 'Edit subpic with external tool', 'Gimp' keeps on giving: > Did you reconfigure DVDSubEdit to call gimpwrapper instead of running the Gimp directly? If you're sure you did that, I suggest putting the line: echo "gimpwrapper: $f1" into gimpwrapper as the 3rd line, i.e. immediately in front of the "gimp $f1" line, running DVD SubEdit from the console and seeing what gimp wrapper is passing the the Gimp.
