Hi marianne - While some of your concerns could be more carefully addressed, please note that GIMP 2.6 has been discontinued almost 2 years ago. The current stable option of GIMP is 2.8 - and we have new people (volunteers as you said) actively working on the actual GIMP program release for the Mac. The manual is a separate, huge, hybrid software and documentation project and I think it had not been tackled by the Mac folks in recent months or years. Maybe your message could spark address in a fresh and working manual release for Mac if there is none at the moment - but I can't see as writing it in a hostile tone as you had just done could make anyone more interested in working on that in their free time. js -><- On 1 March 2014 11:00, marianne ganeau <marianne.ganeau@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > … First : it's almost impossible to join you to report a problem or a bug.
