gimp2 documentation not accessible

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Built gimp2 on MacOS 10.13.5 (Xcode-9.4.1). So far so good.

$ port installed gimp2 gvfs
The following ports are currently installed:
  gimp2 @2.10.2_1+python27 (active)
  gvfs @1.36.2_0+python36 (active)

Any attempt to invoke documentation (via Help -> Help) results in

Could not open 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: Operation not supported

Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install GVFS?

There's no included (off-line) documentation, and no access to the online site.

I believe the docs are provided by the gimp-help-en port.

Installing gimp-help-en port made no difference. Neither help nor user manual are accessible, with exactly the same message as shown above.

I believe this might be a duplicate of #25259, which is a result of #32652 (see also #32020).

It may well be - but none of the referred tickets seems to suggest a solution or a workaround. And the oldest one is three years old.

This has been working for a while, at least in the latest 2.10.x releases. And just retested with the latest release, 2.10.22, and it's working.

So this ticket can be closed.

Per comment:6, this has been fixed for some time. Closing.
