[Error] Shotcut does not start on Linux
Some file managers do not like the launcher icon provided with the binary download from this site. The launcher icon was tested successfully on GNOME Nautilus and KDE Dolphin.
- open a terminal/console window
- cd to the location where you have extracted Shotcut
- enter Shotcut.app/shotcut
Please do not try to run bin/shotcut; always use the wrapper script in the Shotcut.app folder!
If it still does not start, then it should report that some libraries could not be loaded.
