Re: [Gimp-user] help menu again!
Hi, stepg [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm using Windows XP Home SP1. I installed GTK 2.4.3, GIMP 2.0.3, GIMP Help 2.0.3, and GAP 2.0.2. Everything seems to work splendidly -- except that the help system doesn't seem to work. Specifically, the tips window pops up at startup, but pressing F1 or selecting Help doesn't bring up the Help pages. The first time I try it in a session, I get a working in the background cursor for about fifteen seconds or so, then it switches back to the regular cursor. There's no error message, or any other indication that anything's gone wrong, just no Help. Trying to launch it again doesn't even change the cursor -- nothing happens at all. Same story with context sensitive help. What GIMP is trying to do here (on Win32) is to open the systemwide configured webbrowser. I have no idea why this is failing for you. The relevant code is in plug-ins/common/webbrowser.c: ShellExecute (HWND_DESKTOP, open, url, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Usually, this indicates that there isn't really a default browser - something that happens frequently when new browsers are uninstalled and installed.
