Help for help about "Gimp help" and where to install it=)

August 22, 2009 - 00:13 — Ghis1964

Yeah, I guess the title says it.

There are lots of place where to find help for Gimp. But nothing about where to install it so we would leave the online page alone.
It is sometime CPU slow to have a web browser trying to open in between half a dozen gimp windows opened. And I'm sure that there are some that can easily work with five times as much.
So, how can we get this help in the hard drive please?

Which of them all can be install (manually of course, cause it it would install itself, this topic would never have appeared).

Where (which directory) can this be placed;

is it in "C:\Program Files\GIMP"

or in "C:\Users\Administrator\.gimp-2.6"

or do I miss something here?

Please and Thank You

Are you on a multi user account?

If the computer you are using has more than one user account, its very likely you are on a guest account, and would require whoever has the admin account to give you permission or download it for you.

If you aren't on a multi user account computer, then it's very possible your machine has more than one account, and the account you are using isn't admin. Either log on to the other account (admin) and download GIMP (give it access to everyone that uses the computer, or change your current account to be the admin.

Another possibility is that you don't have your admin account enabled. See here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administr...

same problem....

had same problem, and I suppose so fare you have Windows, here is the answer:

"Note: GIMP 2.6 on Windows does not include the Help Browser plug-in, instead your web browser is used to display the help. You may need to go to GIMP's Preferences, click on "Help System" and select "Web browser" under "Help Browser". "

Source: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I suppose you only can bookmark the local link on your hard disc after installing the "Help" and jump to it if required...

Gimp help

No there are not a lot of place..you use Windows right place is Gimp for Windows on sourceforge (exact link in the download page of www.gimp.org ) The right help for you has a .exe extension (name end with.exe) and is a installer so you just need to double click to install it

Thanks

I stumble on those help "docs" a lot. In fact, more able to digest them now. Everytime a click on a "suppose to be link to download", I always end-up on the help doc page=( Why isn't that page in a single file so anyone can put this in its right directory? I'm on sourceforge a lot. I see a lot of gimp related works there. Hope I can find and install as you said. But it looks like some place I've been a lot to download nothing but a web-page. Maybe the link is wrong, is anyone have even tryied it to see if it would download? This is what everyone gets;"http://www.gimp.org/docs/" When it "should" be;"http://www.gimp.org.doc" or;"http://www.gimp.org/docs/gimphelp.doc" Yeah I'm on vista, but since opensuse seems to be a good one, I'll probably move in to that one (and leave MS with all its rigid useless restricting rules to the sheoples) Peace

Re: Not there

To be precise, the help for GIMP 2.6 is now found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/GIMP%20Help%202/GIMP%20He...

But to avoid having to type a new URL in this forum each time a new version is released, I suggest you look here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/GIMP%20Help%202/
click on the folder for the GIMP Help installer for your version of GIMP, then for your language (e.g. "-en" is English).
