GIMP 2.10.6 - Help

Hi!

I have installed GIMP 2.10.6 with HELPBROWSER option enabled (I use patch fro the bug site) but I didn't enable option GVFS because I didn't have enabled on the version 2.8.
When I try to use Help (F1) I get:
Code: 
Could not open 'https://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?
Should I rebuild with GVFS enable. What GIO backends should be, please?

Thank you.

It doesn't work with GVFS enabled either.
 
Don't know what patch you used, but there is no need for manual patching.
It seems that HELPBROWSER isn't used anymore, help now shows up in a browser window when hitting F1.

You should compile again and keep the defaults (HELPBROWSER=off, GVFS=on)
Code: 
ports/graphics/gimp % make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for gimp-2.10.6,2:
     HELP=on: Gimp-Help (50+MB distfile)
     PRINT=on: Gutenprint (gimp-print) plugin
     PYTHON=on: Python-fu support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

ports/graphics/gimp-app % make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for gimp-app-2.10.6,1:
     AA=on: Ascii-art Plug-in
     GHOSTSCRIPT=off: Ghostscript support
     GVFS=on: Virtual filesystems support via GVFS
     HELPBROWSER=off: Internal help browser
     LIBEXIF=on: EXIF metadata support via libexif
     LIBHEIF=off
     LIBMNG=on: MNG animated images support via libmng
     OPENJPEG=on: Enhanced JPEG graphics support
     POPPLER=on: PDF and PS file support via poppler
     SIMD=off: Use CPU-specific optimizations
     WMF=on: Windows Metafile image format support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

The help that now shows up in a browser, is still the same that was used by the help browser.
Code: 
pkg which /usr/local/share/gimp/help/en/gimp-image-window.html
/usr/local/share/gimp/help/en/gimp-image-window.html was installed by package en-gimp-help-html-2.8.2_1

You're mixing quarterly packages with the latest ports.

The issue reported by the topic starter should be resolved in 2.10.6_1,1. The problem was a missing dependancy on glib-networking. This version also reworks the options, removes options that are no longer there and add new onces. I missed updating the options in my initial 2.10 version.
