[Tuxpaint-stamps] Multi-colored variations of the same stamp

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

I was casually poking around Tux Paint today, and noticed two
sets of SVG stamps that were introduced a while back, and it
occurred to me they introduced some redundancy.

First were a set of nice-looking SVG presents (wrapped gifts).
They were identical, except for color.  That's not actually
useful, since Tux Paint actually has a tinting option that can
be set for stamps. (Put the line "tintable" in a ".dat" file.)
So I removed all but one, and set that option.  Saves disk & RAM!

These also made the very old, poorly-drawn (by me, I assume)
PNG-based gift redundant, so I removed it.

After doing all that, I found an identical situation with some
heart-shaped stamps.  3 new identical (save for color) SVGs,
and a very old, not-so-good-looking PNG.  I've just done the same.

In the future, when you consider adding such stamps to Tux Paint,
ask yourself whether it's sufficient to simply let the user choose
the color, and add only one stamp image to the set, or if it's
_actually_ necessary to have multiple versions of the same drawing.

Thanks in advance!  I hope everyone's staying well!  Good luck! 8^o
