Help error resulting two installations - 2.10.24 and 2.10.28

[rich2005]

Quote:...Only one version is listed and it is 2.10.28 - the one I wish to keep
There is no mention of 2.10.24 - even though it is there and works when I click its icon!

So, obviously I don't want to do your following suggestions - because I assume they would remove the wrong one?
On the other hand, maybe I should just try it and then have another go at updating 2.10.24 if things go wrong?

It is all about identifying the version(s) you have installed
Since snap list shows nothing then you must have a regular Gimp installation.

In a terminal

Code:

gimp

just gimp nothing else, then does Gimp 2.10.24 start from that ?

If it is a regular Gimp you can install the help package from the Ubuntu repositories but since you are UK it requires a bit of tweaking .The gimp-help-en folder renamed to gimp-help-en-uk Not worth the effort.

A regular Gimp is uninstalled in a terminal

Code:

sudo apt remove gimp

followed by

Code:

sudo apt autoremove

which cleans up un-needed gimp dependencies.

Just a couple of notes
From a terminal a flatpak Gimp is started with (just to prove that is installed)

Code:

flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP

and what I use, I don't install gimp help. I use a PDF https://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/gimp-help-2.10-en.pdf
