Desktop Linux distributions typically feature a user interface comparable with that of Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, through migrating users usually have to switch to alternative application software, and there may be a lack of commercial quality software in certain application domains, such as computer gaming, desktop publishing,. I hope apple updates the bootcamp asap since 10.13 isn't a beta anymore but until then i guess i'm going to delete windows again because i don't feel like holding down the option key everytime now and to answer your question my theory was wrong about it being based off the last os you install into the partition because windows was still on the.

How to Install GIMP User Manual?
Hi Mike,
On OS X:
If you got your GIMP from gimp.lisanet.de, then1. go to the Download section there,2. scroll down to 'GIMP 2.8 user manual',3. download the user manual of your language,4. unzip the downloaded manual and install the unzipped installer package.
If you got it for instance from the GIMP download site:Unfortunately I don't see a ready-to-use help.Perhaps the packager of the OS X GIMP build can include it?Otherwise you will have to use the online help from the internet.
On Linux:Install the GIMP help packages in the package manager of yourdistribution. On Debian this is gimp-help-common + gimp-help-$your_language, on OpenSuse and Fedora gimp-help.
Kind regards,
Sven

Let me apologize first for not knowing how to use 'gimp-user-list' to post. I am not sure I am doing it correctly (how do I access list?).
That said, your information is spot-on. I may uninstall/delete GIMP I downloaded and re-download from gimp.lisa.net.de because I did not download from that source.
ThanksMike

You should get GIMP from gimp.org whenever possible. What operating system are you using Mike? If we know that then people can stop throwing out blanket guesses of support and we can actually get you the right information you need.

You're right and usually this is the advice I (or we from the GIMP team)give. Unfortunately the OS X build we usually recommend hasn'treleased version 2.8.6 (yet) and all attempts to get the previous 2.8.4build working with a manually installed help failed for me.As adviced at the download page one could also try the MacPorts orFink builds.
MacPorts has released only the English help in version 2.8. and usuallytakes very long to get a running version, because everything is builtfrom scratch. Thus that would only be a solution if one had lots oftime. Fink seems currently to be unreachable.
Kind regards,
Sven

Did you grab the help files from here?

That is the sf.net repository of gimp.lisanet.de. Inside that zip file isan installer.pkg which I assume works along side the rest of the install.

Yes

It might work with the builds from gimp.lisanet.de. Surely it doesn'twork for me for instance with Clayton Walkers build.The mentioned PKG file installs to '/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Gimp/help'. Even when setting the environment variableGIMP2_HELP_URI=file:///Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Gimp/helpit doesn't work. I set GIMP2_HELP_URI by editing$HOME/MacOSX/environment.plist, logging off and on and starting the GIMP application icon.
GIMP tells me in the Preferences, that the help files are now found,but calling the help with the built-in help browser results in theerror message
'The GIMP help browser is not available.The GIMP help browser plug-in appears to be missing from your installation. You may instead use the web browser for reading the help pages.'
Trying to open the help with the web browser does nothing at all.
If I open the aforementioned URI in my browser directly, I see thecontent of that directory.
Did you really get it running and if yes, how?
Clayton, can you please have a look on this when you're packaging GIMP 2.8.6 for OS X? Thank you.
Kind regards,
Sven

I'm not on a Mac myself (Linux). I was just trying to do some research legwork on possible help packages that *might* work.

I had the same problem but it turns out the 'United Kingdom' English manual doesn't seem to work. I installed the standard English manual and it works.

You need to set the UI language to UK English if you want the UK Englishmanual to be recognized.
