Once chosen help won't open. The package does not include the documentation. You have to download it somewhere in your "C:" disk and then move it in the "right" position that happens to be (in your "windows" case") Have you tried to download the windows automated package? For Dutch is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/GIMP%20Help%202/GIMP%20Help%202.6.0%20(updated%20installer)/gimp-help-2-2.6.0-nl-setup.exe/download When installed leave the installation place the default. In this way GIMP will automatically find it. Then check that GIMP is correctly set going in to: Edit->Preferences->Help->User manual->Use locally installed version. If it is set defferently, set it correctly then CLOSE GIMP and RESTART GIMP before re-try with the help key "F1". > I wanted the fils in a sudirectory under "my docements". Then I suggest you to leave it in the place where I have just showed you (to make the GIMP "intelligent" help feature work...) and make a "link" to it in the "my documents" directory (open "my documents"-> mouse-> right-click-> new-> link etc. etc.) You will find the help files in: C:\program files\gimp-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\nl\index.html PS: maybe "program files" is different in Dutch... bye -- Marco Ciampa +--------------------+ | Linux User #78271 | | FSFE fellow #364 | +--------------------+ _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
