[Tuxpaint-users] Thumbnails of "Starter" Image

[John T. <joh...@ya...>]

I created a bunch of starter images and loaded them in the "starters" folder... i have noticed now when i click "Open" it takes a while to display the thumbnails (i assume that each time it is recreating the thumnails of the starters folder... rather than pulling a cache copy - like it does with the saved images). Is this the case? Anything i can do to speed this process up, short of deleting my starter images?

Second,  several of my "starter" images only appear as a black blob as a thumbnail... once they are clicked on... all is ok? Any idea what the problem is? Let me know and i can fwd an example image. Regardless of what computer or OS (Mac or Win XP)... same problem.

thanks

Unfortunately, I've no idea either. I've no access to any Windows
server setups, and almost no experience with them.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work though. As long as each user
gets their own place to create the lock-file and save images it should
'just work'.

For example, if I unpack the zip version to a read-only shared drive on
a simple peer-to-peer network, then I can run Tux Paint on my other
Windows machines by launching it from the shared drive. The lock-file,
image files and optional configuration file are stored on the local
machine.  Presumably, on a setup with a server that the user logs onto,
the 'roaming profile' registry monkey-business can arrange for these
files to be stored on the server with the rest of the users data and
application settings ...

The main improvement with the latest version is that Tux Paint no longer
writes to the application directory by default :-)

If Tux Paint is started from a shortcut, the location where it does write
can be specified by the --savedir command-line parameter. Otherwise, it
uses the registry entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData

to obtain a user-relative path and then appends 'tuxpaint' and creates
that directory if it doesn't exist. This path is usually of the form:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\TuxPaint\


A few years back, I saw an impressive demonstration of a Novell Netware
setup that 'watched' a program install, monitored its behaviour when run
and then replicated the required registry stuff for each user account.

Tux Paint doesn't do anything weird (I don't think - it barely knows
it's running on Windows :-) so it should be easy to setup.

The installer-less zip version would minimise the potential for
confusion when experimenting.

I can make an offer: I live in Manchester, UK if there are any local
school IT departments (say) that fancy a Tux Paint install party one
weekend ... :-)

Unless someone who knows what they are doing Windows network-wise (I
don't) can write this up, it's going to have to be figured-out, done,
tested and then written up.

Would be very useful,

[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint merchandise

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

Happy New Year!

I finally went in and dusted off my CafePress.com account, and discovered
they have more items that I can plop the Tux Paint logo onto (including more
kids sizes), so I've done just that!

You can find links to them all here:

  http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/merchandise/


Also, I've created an ISO image containing Tux Paint 0.9.15b Windows Mac OS X
versions, along with documentation and source code, and uploaded it to
the Tux Paint SourceForge project ( http://www.sf.net/projects/tuxpaint/ )

I'll be sending a disc to CafePress, and soon you'll be able to buy
it through them!  (I might also contact CheapBytes and other places, to
see if they'd like to carry CDROM versions of Tux Paint.)


Enjoy!

Yes, more or less. Most of this path is a registry entry so 'Documents and
Settings' and 'Application Data' are internationalised.

This is how, on Windows, different users get their own (independent from
other users) pictures, settings, stamps, fonts etc. It also allows the
Tux Paint program directory to be protected from meddling, and means
that it works 'out-of-the-box' for restricted users.

Having just the pictures in say 'My Documents\My Pictures\' would be
nice. In fact, a symbolic link to the pictures would have been a nice
solution....

The 'savedir' command-line option still works though, if you want to
change it back so you can all share your pictures again,

cheers,
John Popplewell.

[Tuxpaint-users] Problem finding drawings

[Lieven V. P. <lie...@sk...>]

Hello,

I found something strange. Is this correct????

Where does Tux Paint save pictures? By default, normally this is=20
"~/.tuxpaint/saved/" under Linux and Unix, and "userdata\" under Windows.

I use windows XP and the newest version of TuxPaint. The directory=20
'userdata' doesn't exist. I didn't change the configuration. I found the=20
drawings here in a hidden directory

c:\Documents and Settings\(owner)\Application Data\TuxPaint\saved\



Thanks for helping me.

    "For an upcoming article in Computers in Libraries magazine, I'd like
    to hear from public libraries who are using free or very low-cost

[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.15-2 for Windows released

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

John Popplewell build an updated version of Tux Paint 0.9.15
(dubbed "0.9.15-2") which works around the bug in Windows98 that was
causing Tux Paint to crash if the Stamps package was installed.

As usuall, it is available as both an installer executable (.exe) and
a ZIP archive (.zip).

Additionally, the ZIP archive is now more compatible with older systems,
so if you had trouble unZIPping 0.9.15 or 0.9.15-1, this one should work.
(A new Stamps ZIP is available, too.  It's identical to 2005.11.25, except
it's been ZIP-compressed differently.)

Installers: http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/download/windows/
ZIP-files:  http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/download/windows-zip/

Enjoy!  And thanks to those of you who reported problems and helped us
track down the issues.  And, of course, thanks to John for building a new
version to get around aforementioned issues! ;^)

Hi Jean-Paul!  Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with Mac OS X.
What are ".dnp" files?

Where are you opening them?  (when you say you "can still see them" and
"click open a totally black image is loaded"?)  In Tux Paint, or in the
Mac's Finder?

Thanks and sorry for the confusion! :)

Hrm, unfortunately, this isn't possible at the moment. :^(

I'll add this to our Request For Enhancement list, and hopefully can get
it into the next version of Tux Paint.

One problem I forsee is that it _might_ not be easy for us to get a
_currently-running_ copy of Tux Paint to open a file when it's
double-clicked.  But I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. ;^)

It might be possible to create a small script that copies a given file
into the user's Tux Paint directory.

You didn't say what platform your school is using (Windows, Linux or Mac OS X),
but it should be possible on all of them.  Whatever gets written might need
to get re-written for each platform, though. :^)

Under Linux, it could be as simple as a wrapper to the "tuxpaint-import.sh"
script that already comes with Tux Paint.  (For example, a right-click
context menu entry in KDE might be:  "Open With -> Import into Tux Paint")


> Sure would appreciate any feedback!

This is certainly another one of those features I never planned for. ;^)
(It's obvious I don't work in schools, or with more than one or two computers
at a time, isn't it! ;^) )


If anyone else out here can think of a way this can be done in Windows and/or
Mac OS X, please speak up!

Thanks!

[Tuxpaint-users] Open a Tuxpaint pic by doubleclicking?

[<pb...@ev...>]

I have a teacher in our district who wants to be able to open a file in
Tuxpaint by just double-clicking it.  I can't seem to make this work.  Any
ideas or suggestions?

He has a template file in a shared folder on the school server.  He wants
kids to be able to go there and open that file, modify it, and then save
it into the students' default folder (which is in their home directory on
the server).  An alternative might be to go into Tuxpaint and open the
file from a location other than the save directory, but I can't see a way
to do that either.

Sure would appreciate any feedback!

I'm passing this along to the folks who have reported problems so far.

Cool.  Can you build a 0.9.15-2, I guess? :)  Thx so much!
