In linux it would go in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/xxx where xxx is the language version, such as en for US English and en-GB for english-English. All the html and images folder goes there. Then that has to match the language setting in Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Language Sometime, the default setting "System Language" does not pick up Help. If you can get that working in OSX, you will be more successful than most. An alternative is the excellent PDF, indexed and searchable from http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/ English or Italian. Whoever maintains that deserves a medal. rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] Installing HELP files problem
I recall something from a while back where you had to change which version of the Help file you accessed from British English to US English. It may be in the archives. I forget where the change is made. Sorry.
