Re: [Gimp-developer] [Gimp-user] Close up color gaps

… First : it's almost impossible to join you to report a problem or a 
bug. I can understand that you are volunteers faced with many requests 
but it doesn't explain or excuse nothing because if you are responsible 
of a project you have to be in touch with your users. When I was 
volunteers for others projects it was my philosophy. Since in the 
mailing lists you can't find absolultely nothing because there is no 
mecanism of search in thousands and thousands and thousands of pages !
Second : I have several problems with Gimp and I could not find nothing 
in the lists or other bugs pages : hopeless.
My prinicipal problems : I could download the GIMP 2.6 french Mac 
manual… But after downloading the .zip and opening it, I installed the 
package and the result of this installation on my hard disk is only 
another « package » which make… another installation but all ends with 
an « error » in this second installation… I tried ten times and each 
ended with the same result. And impossible to find an explanation in the 
lists or bug reports : am I alone to have this problem ????
The other problem I have with Gimp: The ufraw which is integrated in 2.6 
GIMP (my operating system is Mac OS 10.4.11) cann't read correctly the 
raws of my camera. So, I should need to download the ufraw 0.19.2 which 
knows this camera… I could download it but I obtain a folder and I don't 
know how install it in Gimp and… and one more time, impossible to find a 
help in any part.
Sure, I'm not a good computerist and perhaps I'm not able to work with 
free softwares, but I was able to work with my macs from approximatively 
30 years and I could do maintenance and repairs for ten computers in my 
job. So I'm not so stupid but I can need for help !!! and I don't find 
where is the help in your world and I'm sorry because the free softwares 
are a fantastic idea but which would require some solidarity. I did'nt 
find it here.
Perhaps can you explain to me ?
Best regards,
Pierre Jacquin.
