Von: Doug doug_bainbri...@onetel.com P.S. Of course, this way the Help tab on Gimp won't work, but at least you'll be able to read the Help Manual whenever you need it I wrote about it on a german forum yesterday, so let's summarize this again: We have two versions of the help files, local/online. We have two different browsers, web/gimp This results in four cases (if assuming that help is installed locally), and I did try each of them: - web/local: works - web/online: does not work, local version is used :) - gimp/local: works - gimp/online: works This is on Debian Sid and Windows XP, the latter does have a help browser plug-in yet, so I skipped the last two tests here. In order to check why the local help might now be found, it could be useful to use tools that do show what files are accessed (e.g. on Windows XP: Filemon). Regards, Michael -- Pt!

I really do not know that much, technically, about computers. But if you have them installed on your local system (hard drive?) why would you need to access them on line? I have the help files installed on my local machine, and since they are html format, and I use my web browser to view them as local files. You don't say what browser you use, but if (as I suspect) you are using Windows XP, you have Internet Explorer built in. So what I recommend that you navigate to the folder in which the Gimp Help files are located (on my machine, the path in which they are installed is C:\Gimp-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\en\ ) and double-click on the file index.html at which point the help file should open in your browser. You can then set a bookmark in your browser, or create a shortcut to the index.html file in the help folder. I know dial up is a pain, especially with files as large as the GIMP Windows installer, and the GIMP help files. You might check with your local library, or the library at school; they may have a higher speed connection so that you can use a thumb drive and download upgrades when you need them. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You are using an outdated version and should have updated to the latest stable release before asking. That would have saved all of us a lot of time. 1. Please try asking me what I have/have not done before jumping to conclusions. I have tried several (more than 3) times to download 2.6.5. I when I try to install I get the message that it is invalid or corrupt. If you can send me a workable solution, please do. If you cannot, please refrain from making any more snotty blame and shame comments. YOU are wasting everyone's time by using this forum to work your own arrogant agenda. Your last post was rude.

If you're going to try to help me please be very explicit and exact. I still don't get it and need all the help I can get. Thanks 1. You should probably uninstall gimp 2.4.3 and then reinstall 2.4.4. 2. Gimp help is another download and install. I'm not familiar with Mac's and how they load software, so I can't really be more specific about this. Good luck, Jim ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Need help with help
I would suggest to ask this on the wilder-loves-apple Forum. Since they did the packaging, they should know how to fix this issue.
