Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Bugs [brush spacing]

[ΑΡΕΤΗ Τ. <tso...@gm...>]

Hello again,

Thanks for the response.
I don't know how to make an adjustment here but I would be glad if you help
me.
If I understood right, a .dat file is needed with the "spacing=N" in order
to avoid overlap. So, what I would do is to add a "star.dat" file
containing spacing=45. Also, I would do the same for the "heart.dat" and
the flowers' ".dat" files as well.
I am trying to open a new ticket in the SourceForge but I can't. Could you
please tell me how to do it?

Thank you!
