Description Mike Vidal 2017-03-29 18:47:12 UTC
When requesting online help goes to:  https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en_US/index.html
and you get a 404.

It should go to https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/

Also, you should provide a way to at least correct this error within preferences.  I tried to install the localized help file using OSX sierra but I am not a software developer and that process failed miserably.

Interesting.

I guess we could catch this at the server level for the online docs, and have it map e.g. https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/tlh/ to https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/.

This won't work for locally installed docs, however, so I would prefer a solution that takes care of this in the help plug-in as well.
