I have just installed GIMP 2.6.10 and downloaded the manual gimp-help-2.6.0-html-en.tar.bz2
How do I use this? My Windows XP SP2 does not know about tar.

I think I found the answer in the 'useless' thread. I unzipped the .bz2 file and pasted its 'en' folder into ..\share\gimp\2.0\help\ but am now getting a "The Help browser is missing" with a "Use Web Browser" button. Any suggestions?

Maybe note http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html and in particular where it says;

Note: GIMP 2.6 on Windows does not include the Help Browser plug-in, instead your web browser is used to display the help. You may need to go to GIMP's Preferences, click on "Help System" and select "Web browser" under "Help Browser".

Thank you Owen. That got me started. It is working perfectly with my default Firefox browser but I would like it to work in Internet Explorer on my secondary monitor. The Help system says 'If you selected "Web browser", you must decide here which browser to use, and how to invoke it, by entering the command that will be used to run the browser.'
Can this be done for Windows XP Pro? If so, how?

In my version of GIMP 2.6.9 on XP the drop menu "Help browser to use:" contains two items: "The GIMP help browser" and "Web browseer". As the help browser is not installed in the Windows version, I have to select the web browser. This means the default browser set on the computer. There are no possibilities to select between browsers. Perhaps some one know how to do it by running GIMP from the (DOS) command line? These commands (usually) are near the same as used for Linux.

Thank you,
I'll just have to run GIMP on my secondary monitor until I learn the basics and until GIMP Help can send the required HTML files to a selected browser.

GIMP uses the web-browser that is selected as the systems default web-browser. And we don't intent to ever change that.

The documentation should be updated, it seems to refer to GIMP 2.2 still.
