There was no search function for the gimp-help package shipped with SuSE Linux 9.3 (as far as I remember), and according to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152987 it looks like there was no search function for several years. > 2) The built-in manual (GIMP Help Browser) lacks proper titles for > many chapters, displaying "???TITLE???" instead. Then you are using an old gimp-help version. This has been (partially) fixed one year ago. I have just checked my help files, there are still a few (sic!) "FIXME TITLE" titles, but no "???TITLE???". > There are also other miscellaneous problems of lesser significance > but the issues mentioned above are major and make using the help > facility barely possible. Really? Of course, a search function would be really helpful, but there is a table of contents and a huge index, both making the manual at least usable - far from "using barely possible". Using toc and index is the way you would work with a printed manual, BTW. > I am just wondering if there is a plan to fix that. Generating help titles should be fixed (before the next release?). Don't know if we (who - documenters or developers?) should try to add a search function... > ..., and it is a shame that the user manual/help facility's > shortcomings get in the way of a quality user experience. Hmm, "a shame" - that's a bit rude, isn't it? Bye, Ulf
