No surprise that GiP can't launch a folder. Use /usr/bin/ffmpeg, though that should already in in $PATH and thus no need to configure GiP explicitly.

Quite so.  What I can't work out is how to change that.  I note other 
openSUSE users don't have this problem, but I did try another 
installation of GIP on another openSUSe box here and got the same 
result, go figure.  Same repo same set up both on leap42.2.
