+====== Make "drawing" work ======
+//This holds most propable for //Debian// and //Ubuntu// as well - nevertheless, I encountered it on //Linux Mint
+The tool //drawing// as packaged for //Linux Mint// does not open files given on the command line. When started from a shell, the first error is
+''Error opening this file. /usr/bin/drawing isn't an image.''

+So the solution was to make a symlink and call the binary by the full (fake) path:
+  ln -s usr /app
+  /app/bin/drawing <imagefile>
