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.

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.

HELLO:  Mac mini (Mid 2010) 4 GB mem, over 400 Gig free on HD.
Downloaded/Installed Sierra Mac OS today and updated GIMP to the 2.8.18 
version

Clicking on GIMP HELP or CONTEXT HELP leads me to a blank page!

SO, I downloaded the GIMP HELP files and was able to Extract the files into 
the

Folder titled gimp-help-2.8.1

HELP!! Now, how do I set this up to install it into Gimp, or to have GIMP 
access

these HELP FILES?

I just figured it out.  Place them in the GIMP mother folder.

Hi Alexandre

Really ? In 1987, digital photography  didn't exist... We
(photographers) were using color slides, and the contrast was a big
problem... Easier with negative but useless for commercial use.
Then, 1990 years, some colleagues began using P$$op for editing and
archiving their photos. It was the beginning.

Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term
deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of
the program with a slide scanner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Early_history


It was used in the printing industry, PrePress long before Photographers
started using it. That was what kept us busy in the scanning department
during the late 80s  90s.

Really Wikipedia is a great resource, however it's not definitive. If
you go to about Photoshop you'll still see the Knoll name in the
credits, so I'll take the originators word over Wikipedia, thank-you very
much.

Hi:
I just installed 2.8 and have downloaded the help files, but cannot figure 
out the destination folder/location for extracting them. I am using 
Windows Vista.

Thank you,

Hi,

to me it seems you expect the toolbar and brushes dock to the left side
docked. To achieve this, toggle Windows/Single Window Mode.
The tabs on the upper right side will appear when there's more than one
image open. To see them simply open or create another file.
Don't mind the dark theme of your GIMP vs. the fawn one from the
tutorial. That's no error. If you don't like it, you can choose another
theme in Edit/Preferences/Theme.

BTW: The subject 'GIMP opening screen' is a bit misleading, because it
lets one think of the splash screen with the progress bar. To be more
precise, you could for instance use 'GIMP screen after opening a file'
next time ;-)

Kind regards,

Sven

Hi,

I'm building gimp on a FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT machine, with gtk3.
I have a failure in at-spi2-core when it does the g-ir-scanner bit. It 
looks like it's possibly ignoring the include spec for Introspection, it's 
running:


# /usr/local/bin/g-ir-scanner -v --namespace 
Atspi --nsversion=2.0 -I.. -I.. --include=GLib-2.0 --include=GObject-2.0 
(ETC)


note the -I.. -I..

anyway it's failing, complaining about not finding libintl.h included in 
glib gi18n.h


I don't see where to add paths in autogen.sh, I edited the Makefile and 
added -I/usr/local/include to INTROSPECTION_CFLAGS without luck.


I did find
