(3) If you go to where the help files are buried, the folder - en - has to match the download. (4) Try and find the index file and see if it opens with your web browser. Gimp help is all html.
My index file is named "index.html" rather than "index". However, when you say "Gimp help is all html.", that may explain what I'm seeing. When I select Help from the Help drop-down menu or press the F1 key the help opens in my browser which is what I have always associated with online help rather than local help. I think you are saying that even local help now gets displayed using the browser.
I'm afraid my preference for local help is not based on needing it when not connected to the Internet but rather I prefer the style which particularly means having the Table of Contents remain on screen when displaying selected sections. The conversion to html is the real problem from my perspective. I haven't had time to verify this conclusion but if valid it is definitely something I find disappointing (i.e., current releases are inferior in this respect).
