Crash when opening an image from RawTherapee AppImage

[tribut]

When I use gimp-2.10.0-20180405_2134.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage as external image editor for RawTherapee-git-5.4-20180322_1639.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage the gimp window is briefly shown but crashes while trying to load the image. Opening the same image directly works. Through some trial-and-error I found out that the following wrapper script works:

#!/bin/sh
unset GCONV_PATH
exec gimp.AppImage "$@"

Not sure where this bug belongs really but to me it looks like the AppImage should do some sanitation of its environment before starting?

Hi! Sorry for the late reply...

I think the problem is on the RT side. In the GIMP case, the appimage has indeed some mechanism to reset the environment before invoking external programs, and the same needs to be implemented for the RT case.

Since I am managing both AppImage packages, I will have a look at this.
