[Martin F. <mf...@gm...>]

Hi Bill,

No problem - I was a bit overdue getting these fixes in.  Thanks also
for updating the docs.  I noticed that Tux Paint doesn't have a
control-key shortcut for Print (eg. Ctrl-P).  Is it fine if I add
this?  The reason I ask, is that most of the new menu items I added to
the Mac menu bar send keystroke events to the SDL layer, thereby
invoking the action.  For example, selecting "File > New" on the Mac
sends a Ctrl-N keystroke event to SDL, which then gets picked up by
Tux Paint.  For File > Print, however, I have to call the do_print()
function directly (which is why I had to "un-static" this function in
tuxpaint.c).  This works fine, but it might be a bit cleaner to send a
Ctrl-P keystroke event as well, plus having a Ctrl-P keystroke for
printing seems to be fairly standard anyway.

I will be making a couple more tweaks in the next week or two (eg.
adding a Mac OS X style Open dialog for alternate save paths in Tux
Paint Config - this was a user request some time back).

Cheers,

Martin

Blerf!  Ok, so I guess the next thing I'll do is try and figure out how to
use the Cairo2 stuff that's in Ubuntu, and hopefully that'll satisfy the
Debian end of things, too.

Thanks!

PS - Like I said earlier, I'd like to get a release out _this month_. :)

Dubious ... there's no evidence that any of those packages are in, or will ever
be in Debian and Ubuntu.

I guess I'd have to if it depends on the "1" packages, as they are not in unstable.
I have not yet tried.

[Tuxpaint-devel] SVG & Cairo libs on Debian and Ubuntu

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

Somehow I managed to get libsvg1, libsvg1-dev, libsvg-cairo1 and
libsvg-cairo1-dev packages installed on my Kubuntu desktop.

Apparently, I pulled some stuff from the following repository,
which is now commented in my apt/sources.list:

  http://cairographics.com/packages/debian/ unstable/

On my work laptop, onto which I just installed Kubuntu, I see that
the following SVG and Cairo lib packages are available:  libcairo2,
libcairo2-dev.  (But I see no libsvg* or libsvg-cairo*!)

I've installed them, but cannot build Tux Paint with SVG support.

What should I do?

  (1) Figure out how to get Tux Paint working with the "libcairo2" stuff
  (2) Install the packages from that repository (if it's even still around!)
      so that my laptop matches my desktop

Ben -- What do you need to do to get Tux Paint compiling on Debian?
Did you disable SVG stuff?  Are the "1" packages available in Debian
unstable?  (But somehow not in Ubuntu 7.04.)

Has anyone else here built the latest Tux Paint (from CVS) on [K]Ubuntu?

Thanks!

For now, I can probably easily omit the .png files when I tar

Changing the code in set_active_stamp() from:

   if (sd->mirrored && !sd->no_premirror)
   {
     memcpy(buf + len, "_mirror.png", 12);
     active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);

#ifndef NOSVG

     }
#endif
   }

   if (!active_stamp)

     memcpy(buf + len, ".png", 5);
     active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
	
#ifndef NOSVG
     if (active_stamp == NULL)
     {
       memcpy(buf + len, ".svg", 5);
       active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
     }
#endif
   ...
   }

to:

   if (sd->mirrored && !sd->no_premirror)
   {
#ifndef NOSVG	
     memcpy(buf + len, "_mirror.svg", 12);
     active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
#endif

     if (active_stamp == NULL)
     {
       memcpy(buf + len, "_mirror.png", 12);
       active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
     }
   }

   if (!active_stamp)
   {
#ifndef NOSVG	
     memcpy(buf + len, ".svg", 5);
     active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
#endif
	
     if (active_stamp == NULL)
     {
       memcpy(buf + len, ".png", 5);
       active_stamp = do_loadimage(buf, 0);
     }
    ...
   }

fixes the problem for me - but this means the problem was affecting  
all platforms.  Can anyone verify this?

If it helps to only package the SVGs, and not their PNG counterparts,
feel free to do so.  (We should figure out the best way to deal with this,
down the road.  Some platforms may never have suitable SVG support.
Mac OS classic, for example, if Tux Paint ever supports it.  Or Maemo.)

As for TP loading PNG _instead_ of SVG, that's bizarre, since there's
code in there that specifically checks for SVG variations, when loading PNGs.
If the SVG exists, it will ignore the PNG and go about its business
(eventually loading the SVG).

Maybe I've made dumb assumptions somewhere that affect OSX?

(John - Win32 seems to work fine, right???)


Thanks Martin!

[Tuxpaint-devel] June release of 0.9.17?

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

This month marks Tux Paint's 5th 'birthday.'  (I began coding it in
mid-June 2002, and released an initial alpha a few days later, IIRC.)

How do people feel about releasing Tux Paint 0.9.17 some time this month?

A number of high-priority (8 and 9) bugs still exist, although a few of those
seem like flukes, and a few of them I can live with for another version:

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=66938&atid=516295


MOST important is getting Printing to work right.  At the moment, we list
a number of work-arounds for various platforms, due to issues like bad
PostScript, Mac endianness confusion, etc.:

  http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/known_issues/


These two are strange issues I've only seen reported once:

  Text doesn't work at all  [ Mac OS X 10.4.8 ]
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1666078&group_id=66938&atid=516295

  First mouse click in Fullscreen minimizes TP to taskbar  [ Win 98 SE ]
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1616040&group_id=66938&atid=516295


Thoughts?


PS - Our last three releases have each been a year apart
(Oct 2004, Nov 2005, Oct 2006), for what it's worth...

Yes, I managed to get SVG working on the Mac OS X build today.  It's  
a universal build, too, so should theoretically work on Intel Macs  
(so far I have only been running it on my PowerPC-based PowerBook).   
At least a few of the SVG stamps work; in other cases, if there is  
both a foo.svg and foo.png file in one of the stamps subdirectories,  
the .png version is favored and I still get a pixelated version of  
the stamp at max magnification.  Am I supposed to package the .png

chance to look into modifying the Mac print dialog next week...

Yes, I managed to get SVG working on the Mac OS X build today.  At  
least a few of the SVG stamps work; in other cases, if there is both  
a foo.svg and foo.png file in one of the stamps subdirectories,  
the .png version is favored and I still get a pixelated version of  
the stamp at full scale.

Currently, the SVG-build is PowerPC only; I'll try to get universal  
binaries of libcairo, libsvg, libsvg-cairo and the rest of the  
dependencies built in the next few weeks.  I had some initial  
problems creating an Intel build of libcairo from my PPC-based  
Powerbook. If problems persist, I'll see if I can get access to an  
Intel-based Mac to make an Intel build; then I can "lipo" the PPC and  
Intel libs together and things should be smooth sailing from there.

Here is a link to an up-to-date Windows version:

http://johnnypops.demon.co.uk/files/tuxpaint-0.9.17/TuxPaint-0.9.17cvs-20070518-win32.zip

The stamps categories look good. 

I've disabled LARGE_CURSOR_FULLSCREEN_BUG in this build. The bug only
manifests if hardware surfaces are used.

Since the default on Windows was changed from directx -> windib a while
back, this should work for most users. I tried the new --native switch
with --fullscreen and the cursors worked fine.

If I do this in a command-prompt:

C:\>set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx
C:\>tuxpaint --native --fullscreen

the cursor 'bug' is back,

cheers,
John.

Hi,

sorry about the late reply: it should just work :-)

Your later post suggests that you aren't using the latest cvs. There was
a printing-on-Windows related fix checked in recently.

The fix removes the need for 'printcfg=yes' in the config file in order
for the printer configuration GUI to appear.

Depending on other config settings, you might need to hold ALT down when
clicking on the Tux Paint print button.

Otherwise, provide more information than 'I failed to print' :-)

John.

[Tuxpaint-devel] Stamp grouping - now in CVS!

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

In Tux Paint 0.9.17 (available in CVS), stamps are now broken into groups,
or categories.

These are based on the folder heirarchy.  Every top-level folder is seen
as a separate category.  (So, for example, all of the animals -- mammals,
birds, fish, etc. -- are seen as one 'category' in the UI.)

Let me know how you like it!  It's been on the to-do list a long time.
I think the <= / => switching arrows was a pretty simple solution.
(And honestly, I think it's a good thing... better than some
"switch category" button that would pop up an 'Open'-style dialog...
which is what I had initially envisioned, nearly 5 years ago now :) )

[Tuxpaint-devel] A few more Tux Paint 0.9.17 changes

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

FYI, I've implemented a few more things in CVS right now:

* --hidecursor
  Makes cursor disappear.  Useful on touchscreens.
  (Automatically set when "NOKIA_770" is #defined, btw)

* --autosave
  Assumes the user wants to save when they quit.
  (One less question to ask; can be useful together with
  --saveover or --saveovernew)

* --orient=portrait
  Swaps the width and height values when determining screen size.
  Can be useful on systems that can be reoriented, e.g. tablet PCs.
  (Run "tuxpaint --fullscreen" when in laptop form-factor,
  run "tuxpaint --fullscreen --orient=portrait" when in tablet form-factor.)


These options are also now exposed in Tux Paint Config (CVS version).

Enjoy!

[Tuxpaint-devel] Unable to print from windows build running from MSYS

[Shih-Chin Y. <sya...@gm...>]

Hi, John:
I was quite excited that I was able to build and run TuxPaint for windows.
But I failed to print. Would you please suggest where I should look at ?

Many thanks,

[Tuxpaint-devel] SDL_SetCursor() bug on Win32 fullscreen: Is it still around?

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

Way back in the day, a #define was added to Tux Paint,
"LARGE_CURSOR_FULLSCREEN_BUG".  It disables use of SDL_SetCursor() on
Win32 when Tux Paint is running in fullscreen.

I knew this bug was still around as of October 2005 in SDL 1.2.9.
Is it still around?  If it's been fixed, I'll kill this bit of code in
Tux Paint.

Thx,

Heh, sorry.  Glad it works, though!  SVG is a nice feature to have, I think!

When I was using Debian, I had to add some 3rd party repositories.
In Kubuntu 7.04, it looks like I've got what I need among the normal
and universe stuff.  The recent Debian release may also have what's needed.

I'm still curious whether a Mac OS X build has been made with the SVG
stuff actually working.  (Martin may have said, but I forgot. :^/ )
