mtpaint 3.49.12- April 2016

Note to oui...

Have you tried psnapshot. There is a right click menu on the folder that
contains the images. Then when you save the image that you have selected
and edited , the save dialog will have a user selected folder as default.

Right clicking on a folder isn't implemented. I'll work on that.

I wrote a script to open a folder of images with mtpaint.
The folder can't be a link.

I wrote a script to open a folder of images with mtpaint.

I experienced a couple of problems with this script, some of them serious. In the worst case the user ends up with editing the wrong file. Most problems relate to your approach of creating a temporary folder with links to the images. Unless you have a compelling reason for creating all these temporary links I suggest that you simply use the output of the find command as input for mtpaint. This would make your script much, much shorter and more reliable.

[don570]

I put in 'L' option for find command and it opened a folder that is a link

./script /root/puppy-reference/backgrounds

Works great! I'll change script in first post.

Could you write that out as a line of code for me?

Three lines. But that's the whole script.

I made the change so that a right click on folder of images is possible
to edit them..

(warning mtpaint-april64-3.44.93 will only work for april64 64 bit)

Hi Don

Thank you for your efforts for mTpaint! I use it daily! But I mis 2 details:

a/ no short cut for "print that image"
b/ idem for "time delayed screen shot"

c/ the main windows opens on top left and covers almost completely the Puppy icones and the satellite window for it's tools covers the main commando bar from mTpaint including the important icones "copy" and "insert" ....

Kind regards

[don570]

I just make the pet and debian packages.


I assume that the windows open in the top left
so that mtpaint can be used in multiple operating systems
ie XORG isn't needed. By opening in the top left with small windows
a netbook could use mtpaint.

Several scripts delay the snapshot. Here's the simplest.

Move/resize the windows to suit your taste. mtPaint will remember it for the next time.

Hi Don and Jaguar,

thank you for the answer. I am continuously in Debian Jessie (or sometimes SID in the last time) in an puppy like minimalist installation with a lot of the goodies of Puppy (JWM, Seamonkey, rox, mTpaint etc.). Why original Debian? Using a powerful modern laptop, I will also test and use adapted app's being in 64 bit not available in Puppy's in 64 bit format. The language is German. I see no "help" or "Hilfe" and mTpaint remembers no precedent settings!

I also use daily Quirky Unicorn 6.0 (Quirky-5.99, the wonderful ISO with only 135 MB from BK, but without some goodies like mTpaint! If you add the KDE-sfs you get a very small KDE system 99 MB from Jejy with Konqueror, Kate, Okular, KolourPaint, Gwenview etc... Of course, KolourPaint also can make printscreens and resize them!) as it is compatible with the enormous depository (more than 400 app's and programs) from RSH through his «Archive-Unicorn-Install.tar.gz» ( http://www.datafilehost.com/d/f4612003 ) without some save file and give me for some things KDE app's and abilities. I did re add mTpaint of course ( RSH is a lover of music and graphic arts but, different from BK, doesn't really like mTpaint...): It is the BK implementation with a new initrd and the RSH tools, not an ISO from RSH. I don't remember the source but probably the *.deb 32 bit package from Ubuntu Utopic (unicorn). The problems are the same.

As I am a fan from eve and eveWEB as well as from mTpaint, I was hurt in this forum by users don't doing understand why I argument for mTpaint! Why? Probably because it is difficult and uncomfortable sometimes to be used, what else ! As I have no little netbook and as the little netbooks are not the really major among of users of graphic systems (I also use a 7" tablet an HTC Flyer but I know: it is not really the best equipment for graphic arts at all, but reduce the use of graphic app's for all other user with good or best equipment for graphic invoquating netboots is not really the best strategy to make of a graphic app becoming the standard of the graphic app's field! Better the adequate hardware become good app's and the other will try to follow...):

my DELL laptop offers a laptop screen with 1920 x 1080 pixel (it is better as the most laptops...) and 8x Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz with 8.088 GB RAM is possibly the right client for Graphic app's... But if the app reduces it to a simple netbook it is non sens to opt for such a machine (note: it is the reason why I also use Debian 64 bit and not only Puppy / Quirky) !

I see no "help" or "Hilfe" and mTpaint remembers no precedent settings!

Doesn't the window position write to the configuration file /root/.mtpaint ??

I wonder if your HOME folder is something different than /root
You can find your HOME folder

Code: Select all

cd ~
pwd

Hi
Thank you don and thank you Jaguar. It was my error; my error came because «help» is not in the same field of the screen (completely right also resized mode on my very large screen! As it is a graphic app and the place is the major need in graphic my screen is often about a full screen and «help» is extremely far from the other commands of the commando line. And often an other app windows covers this point !). See the blue and red points on both pictures (my Debian screen and my Quirky screen using the beautiful background from RSH in his first version in the embedded things of him!).

[don570]

I did some timing tests on a folder of 300 jpegs. The first script just resized.
The second script resized then converted to png format.
