Description Art Cowles 2006-06-05 20:50:13 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I go to the Help menu and click on "Help", the .html help page is opened in my default text editor, not the browser.

And I know that .html files are still associate with my browser because if I double click on a .html file from windows explorer it will open in my browser.

Steps to reproduce:
1. From the GIMP main window click on the Help menu
2. Click on the Help menu item
3. 


Actual results:
The .html help page opens in my default text editor, not my browser

Expected results:
I would expect the help system to open in my browser.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

This seems to be an old problem and a duplicate of #158463. Afaik, there is no way to provide a fix for this. I leave this bug still as UNCONFIRMED, so that some other developers can comment.

Art, if your browser setup is screwed up, please use the internal help-browser. You can configure GIMP to do this in the Preferences dialog.

Thanx for Comment #2

I didn't realize there was an option for this in the preferences. This is working for me. :)
