I downloaded the precompiled version of Gimp 2.0.6 from the Slackware-current archives, downloaded the 2.0.6 help files, installed them and now Gimp has help files, including a limited amount of context-sensitive help. Hooray!
The default help-browser is Mozilla, which is a royal pain. I frequently have multiple browser windows open at the same time. Mozilla has this huge roadblock where you have to fire up a different profile for each instance of the browser. So I will switch my default help browser to Konqueror which has no such impediment. I wrote to the Mozilla folks on this issue but they seem dazzled by the brilliance of their creation, and never mind what the users want or need. I also downloaded the 2.2 tarball but immediately found myself in the library chasing game. So I will hold off on that version until the Slackware folks offer a precompiled edition. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
