Description Warren Norwood 2002-10-26 17:21:04 UTC 
Choosing Print draws no response from GIMP except the hourglass for a few 
seconds.

Choosing Help, then "Use Netscape" ellicits no response.  My Browser if 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.00

I uninstalled and reinstalled GIMP successfully using gimp-1.2.4-
20020907setup.exe, but got the same results when choosing Print and 
Help.    Consequently, I cannot print and can't go to help to find out why.

There are two bugs reported, and thus this bug report should be split 
in two.

Here is my commentary on the two bugs.

1) Print plug-in doesn't work.

Works for me.  Well, not perfectly, but it does print.

2) "Use Netscape" doesn't work.

Confirmed.  I don't think it ever worked on windows.  Probably should 
use ShellOpen or somesuch to call the default .html handler.
Comment 2 Raphaël Quinet 2002-12-04 08:05:26 UTC 
Well, let's keep this bug focused on the "Help does not work" part,
since that one can easily be confirmed.  I have changed the summary
of this report accordingly.  Reporter, please open a separate bug
report for your printing problems.  If posible, give a few additional
details about your system and at what point the print plug-in is
frozen (i.e., before or after displaying the print dialog box).

appears to be some kind of duplicate of bug #51632 which tries to
offer a solution.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2002-12-06 15:20:48 UTC 
Let's collect all the windows-related gimp-help problems in bug 51632
then.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51632 ***

For those who want to check the status of the remaining part of this
bug report (print does not work), it is now in bug #100521.
