(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

People keep requesting it, and it turns out that it doesn't in fact require Gnome, so here it is, with (hopefully) all the patches from savannah.gnu.org... except the "new icons" patch, which contains icons for the start menu/window manager, but hasn't integrated them.

Also, it doesn't install the .desktop file, which I suspect would need editing anyway. Someone with a little bit of time might like to make it install the icons and the .desktop file.

When I get a chance I might look at converting it from libglade to gtkbuilder.

N.B. This seems to basically be a dead project, but people posted a bunch of patches there last year... there may also be other patches available elsewhere, if someone wants to have a look around.

N.B. I upxed the binary.

downloaded and working good....

thks it will be like paintbrush on xp

Hi pri, I'm glad you like it, but in the future if you are going to reply to a post to say only that it works, could you please wait a couple of days before replying? Some of us mostly read the "unanswered posts", so this would give us a better chance of noticing a new software package.
Thanks.

For a small paint program its not bad, Has a few downsides like no layers, no cropping to selection, no selecting new image sizes, Save-as should have a file selection so you actually know what it can convert formats to.
On the upside I like the gui better than mtpaint, like the colour selector on the bottom, which opens a colour wheel, I could see i the future if it had some needed newer features as a nice small gimp alternative. Oh ya this was based on Xpaint, and your sources compiles file on 2.14X

I like the Gui on the too, but last time I tested it, it had no Undo feature. It seems that is still the case.

Undo is sort of critical for a paint program. I wonder how hard it would be to add it.

i will notice your world as rules on posting someting, but i think i will not found this post anymore, because i always looking unanswered post too.

btw thks.

Dear Puppians,

Yes. gpaint has potential but, as Jemimah says, it needs an Undo. I would add that it also needs alpha-channel support (i.e. transparency). Anybody willing to look at the code?

With kind regards,

MTPaint is now theme-able in git - so you can change what you don't like (needs testing). Or I can recompile with a better theme if someone provides a better set of xpm icons (for the src/icons directory in the mtpaint source)

to get the latest source tree from master
http://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint/tarball/master

I think there was a set (or theme) available that was adapted from the GIMP I think?? in another thread that I have lost track of

xpaint is still actively develloped, so personally I think people would be better off using it (or mtpaint of course) instead of pursuing gpaint.

My feed back will be posted in the topic with libgio pet here

GnU paint helps MTpaint for comments. I use it a lot. It's an usual tool very useful.
