I successfully downloaded and installed Gimp and moved it to the Dock, and have been using it for a month or two.
Suddenly when I click on it, a window tells me it won't open because it is in the Trash. (I'm sure I did this myself when I was playing around, but I don't remember why or how!)
Now, I can't return it to how it was. I can find it in the Trash and put it on the desktop, then move it from there to the Dock (where it opens OK). But then I can't get rid of the desktop icon - if I trash it, then Gimp won't open from anywhere (Dock or Applications) because it "is in the Trash".
1 how can I now return things so that it's in the Dock, not on the Desktop, AND opens from the Dock?
2 what might I have done originally to get into this situation?
