New user, or trying to be.....
I entered my first "search" to find a photo and was told I need to have "indexer daemon" activated. I found online where to put a check mark to make this work in Computer, except it was already checked. I am getting nowhere. I am about ready to remove Gimp from my computer, but someone said it might help me fix my eBay jewelry photos better than Picasa. I have spent months trying to do this. Now your site actually doesn't give us much in the way of contacting Gimp people. I finally found this address. So, how to I get indexer daemon to work? I can't even access the Help on the Gimp site. I went to the online Gimp Help, and it isn't helping! I think this program is far too advanced for me. If I can't access a photo file, then what?

As far as I know there is no "indexer" in Gimp... Gimp doesn't search pictures, it edits them. If Gimp is correctly installed, once you have found the picture (by any means..., ) opening it with Gimp is one of the choices...

Picasa is a photomanager with some editing capabilities, Gimp is just a powerful image editor. You can keep managing your pictures with Picasa, and you can edit them with Gimp once you have located them in Picasa (Gimp is likely a choice in the right click menu).
