I agree.

I think it would be nice if the teacher/parent could rapidly change 
which stamps to load (say you have a project about safe behaviour in the 
traffic first, and then the next class has a project about birds living 
in the local region). Maybe a small program to make profiles, and select 
which profile to use when starting the program. TuxPaint should then 
load the stamps in the current profile without any user requests when it 
is started. Does this sound like a good idea? The groups could be either 
the directory structure (as it is today), or something you build in the 
profile program.

Maybe the profile program could generate an xml-file along the lines of:
<stamps>
  <group name="cars">
    <stamp path="vehicles/auto/sedan.png" />
    <stamp path="fire/firecar.png" />
  </group>
  <group name="people">
    <stamp path="people/fireman200b.png" />
  </group>
</stamps>


Kind regards
