I was debating a ‘me too’ reply since it works for me, but looking in the Apps directory shock, horror, gasp it is indeed not there! I always <right click> open with gimp and have never noticed it NOT in apps. Platypus is a nice launcher creator. For the record: yosemite, macports, gimp.
If you do not like the linux way of handling the menu then the sourceforge version of gimp is native and does install a launcher.
