Unfortunately, no.  I decided to leave things as-is,
rather than overhaul the Fill routine and potentially
break things for a while, and delay a new release. :)

However, it will be one of the first things I dig back
into for 0.9.28.

Sorry for the bad news, but thanks very much for the report.

Thanks in advance!


Things to try out:

 * Magic tools are now grouped
 * New Magic tools: Lightning, Opposite, Panels, Reflection,
   Smooth Rainbow, and Stretch
 * Updated Magic tools: Halftone, TV, and (slight change) Cartoon
 * These Magic tools can now apply full-image effects:
   Blocks, Cartoon, Chalk, Emboss, and Halftone

 * Rotational brushes supported (any angle; different from the
   old 8-way "directional"), see e.g. the arrow brush
 * Badge/icons indicate which brushes support rotation/direction
   and/or animation
 * Lines and Shapes show the angle of the line / rotation
 * New Fill mode: "Brush" (freehand paint within a contained region)

 * Windows "Recycle Bin" used when deleting pictures (via "Open" dialog)

 * All config. options should now be listed in the output of
   "tuxpaint --help", the Unix manpage, and bash shell tab-completion
 * Config. options documentation (HTML & text) have been reorganized
 * manpage and HTML/text docs about Magic tools support localization
   (not much has been done yet, though)

 * New "Frog" starter image

 * Various bugfixes & build-related changes (especially Windows & macOS)

And over in Tux Paint Config.:

 * The "Use 'All Users' Settings" checkbox (for deleting one's local
   config. file, so that the system-wide one is always used) has been
   replaced with a 3-way option that allows the local config to either:

    (a) ignore system-wide configurations and ONLY use the
        local config
    (b) merge the system-wide configuration with the local one
        (the previous default behavior), or
    (c) use only the system-wide one (deletes the local config file)

 * Uses a larger window & fonts/widgets, on modern large displays;
   UI layout code was heavily overhauled

 * Japanese translation should render much better

Whew!  That sure is a lot, especially for it having been less than
5 months since the last release.


Thanks again, your feedback is very much appreciated!

I'm beginning work to remove the recursion, and implement
span filling as described over at

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill#Span_Filling

I need to get to bed, though, so it's all #ifdef'd out
at the moment...

I tested in Linux and Android, I will need some more time to compile and test in Windows:

Linux performs fine even with Tux Paint running a window of 4000x3000

For Android things are different:
cnt=20000 seems too much for my phone(lineage cm 14.1 AKA Android 7) 
and it still crashes,
I had to low it to 2000 to not crash, it crashes still at 3000

Off course, with a too low recursivity allowed, the fill tool doesn't 
perform fine and stops filling far before the limits of the area.

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] tuxpaint crash and exit without any error when floodfill complex edges

[雷阳 <lei...@16...>]

Hi


0.9.26 still has crash problem. 
I downloaded the new version and install(override existing one, the installer didn't prompt any dialog asking), 
and by clicking the start menu icon i see the 0.9.26 label on left buttom screen.
I've tested if by default color is black, and the template image is also black, then no issue at all. 
If you select some other color, then fill, it still crashes.

Ah, confirmed!  I added a simple hack to have the flood fill
stop iterating any deeper than 20,000, which is a lot.

I think an even less recursion-heavy method of filling
is in order.  I wonder what professional apps like GIMP do.
(I was able to load the SVG at 3000px wide, and even scale it
up to 6000px, which exceeded the max. memory limit setting,
and it was able to fill successfully. :) )

We already walk left & right, and then recurse to fill up
and down one row.  Obviously that's not the best solution. ;)

In any case, hopefully this helps stop the crash for
most users that it might be affecting...?  Pere, can you
check on your end?  (I should remind myself how to restrict
process resources on Un*x & Linux, it's been decades. :) )

Thanks again, Yang!

I am able to crash Tux Paint with the Fill tool 
and with the same starter on my android phone, 
instead in Linux it performs fine when called with the size 
of the phone.

Instead, if I call Tux Paint with an unreasonable size 
like 3000x2000, then also in Linux I am able to crash.

Valgrind says the following in Linux:
==618698== Stack overflow in thread #1: can't grow stack to 0x1ffe801000

Hi Yang, thanks for the note, and sorry for the trouble!
I made some improvements to the Fill tool in the previous
version (0.9.26), when I was working on some new features
that the Fill tool offers -- linear & radial gradients.
(And 0.9.27 will add a freehand fill option, as well.)

I recall addressing some crash behavior, when dealing
with complex shapes, and I just tested with the current
'master' version from the Git source code repository
(in other words, what will become version 0.9.27), and
was able to easily fill the solid black of the template
example you provided.

So I think you should try upgrading to version 0.9.26.
If that version still causes difficulty, please let us know
and we'll investigate further!

Thanks again,

[Tuxpaint-users] tuxpaint crash and exit without any error when floodfill complex edges

[雷阳 <lei...@16...>]

Hi,


This is my first post as a tuxpaint user. This project is great and my 3 years old baby loves it. But sometimes it crashes, do you encounter the same problem and I'm not sure if this is a known issue?


Steps to reproduce:
1. New an image, select from built in template, like the following one(i only cropped small part of the image)
2. Select flood paint tool (i don' know exactly how to call this tool)
3. Fill to the black edge, instead of the hole.


Expected result: 
all edges become same color, or no change.
 
Actual result:
 Crash and exit without any error.


Tuxpaint version: 0.9.25,  Win11 10.0.22000   Build 22000

Hi Rahul, 
Are you using 0.9.26-6?
I ask because the crash with the system default language setting 
is supossed to be fixed in 0.9.26-6 and if it is not fixed we would 
want to know.

One workaround you could currently try is, all in tuxpaint-config:
Uncheck fullscreen and set the size of the window to the maximum size of your screen
then set Tux Paint to grab the mouse so it stays inside the Tux Paint window
and finally set the Tux Paint's button size to something bigger so 
you can read what is inside buttons.

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Not able to open TuxPaint 0.9.26 on WIndows 10

[Rahul A. <rah...@gm...>]

Thanks Pere.  After i set Language to English instead of System default, I
was able to launch Tux Paint. However there is some problem with Menu and
window size. It doesnt display weel and menu items like Tools and Brushes
are getting chopped. I later found out that this is some already known
issue. Hoping to get it fixed soon as I have to work with window size of
800 * 600 or change my laptop display size to 100% which literl=ally makes
my laptop font non readable.

Thanks

Which 0.9.26?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/files/tuxpaint/0.9.26/
Please make sure you are trying with the newest 0.9.26-6
Did you try with the zip or with the installer? x86_64 or i686?

Also in the Languages tab, please select any language, IIRC there was 
some 0.9.26-X release failing to start if language was set to 
system's default.



Another thing that could be interesting to explore is if your laptop
has a multiuser installation and the user that is trying to run Tux Paint 
has very low privileges.

Hi Bill,

In Config window, Load System fonts option was already unchecked. Also
stderr.txt and stdout.txt files are both empty with 0 kb file.
Please see attached screenshots. Also please note i have already tried
uninstalling and installing TuxPaint again earlier to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Rahul

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Not able to open TuxPaint 0.9.26 on WIndows 10

Rahul responded to me off-list, so pasting it here :)

Thanks for your response. Regarding you queries:

This is the first time I have tried installing Tux Paint on my laptop and
version is 0.9.26.
When i click on Tux Paint icon, nothing happens, no window appears, no
error message as if I havent clicked on anything.
I tried opening TuxPaint config but haven't changed anything in
window which opens.
Also how do i know if its Tuxpaint is trying to load System fonts and how
do i disable it if its causing issue.


Please advise.Thanks

=====

Hi again Rahul,

So in Tux Paint Config., under the "Languages" tab,
see if the "Load System Fonts" option (on the right, in the
section labeled "Fonts") is checked.  If it is, try un-checking it,
then click "Apply" at the bottom.  Try launching Tux Paint again.

If it was already unchecked, or changing it didn't help, it might
be useful to get a copy of any errors that are being emitted by
Tux Paint.

In the folder where the Tux Paint EXE file is installed
(e.g., ... ummm ... I'm not a Windows user, so bear with me ...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TuxPaint" I think?), look for files
named "stderr.txt" and/or "stdout.txt".

Feel free to paste the contents of them, or attach them to
your email, in reply to this message.

Thanks!

Hi Rahul, sorry to hear you're having trouble!  Is this the first time
you've used Tux Paint, or did you have an older version installed
previously?

Did you make any configuration changes (e.g., using the Tux Paint Config.
tool that comes with TUx Paint)?

Does Tux Paint launch _at all?_  i.e., does a window appear, and then
disappear when it crashes?  Or does nothing appear at all?

If Tux Paint is configured to load system fonts, you might want to
try disabling it, in case there's a TrueType Font (TTF) that's
causing issues.

Thanks in advance for any further details you can provide!

[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.26-5 released for Windows Vista thru 11

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

A new build of Tux Paint 0.9.26 (first released this past June)
has been released for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

Tux Paint 0.9.26-5 should address a crash bug which particularly
seemed to affect Windows 10, related to the uses of the Label tool
and on-screen keyboard feature.

You can download installer (.exe) versions for 64-bit and 32-bit
systems here:

  http://tuxpaint.org/download/windows/

And you can download stand-alone "portable" (.zip) versions for
64- and 32-bit systems here:

  http://tuxpaint.org/download/windows-zip/

Please let us know ASAP if you notice any further issues with
this version.

Big thanks to Pere and Shin-ichi of the Tux Paint team for their work
tracking down the source of the issues and addressing them.

[Tuxpaint-users] Upcoming features, and new artwork gallery on the website

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

Hi all, just a quick note to get you excited for the next version of
Tux Paint, and to tell you about our new artwork showcase (gallery)
on the website.

In case you've missed any of the social media (Twitter and Facebook)
posts about upcoming features, here's a rundown of what we've added
so far -- they'll be part of the next release of Tux Paint
(version 0.9.27):

 * Magic tools are now grouped into sections, which you can page
   through (like you can with the various groups of Stamps)

 * New "Lightning" magic tool -- draws a randomized bolt between two
   points on the picture

 * New "Opposite" magic tool -- like "Negative", but rather than
   swapping all colors, like a photographic negative, it simply swaps
   hues with their complementary colors

 * New "Panels" magic tool -- shrinks and duplicates your entire
   picture into repeating 2x2 tiles; useful for creating 4-panel
   comics (or simulating a compound eye, if you repeat it!)

 * Updated "Halftone" magic tool -- simulates color photos on
   newsprint, with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) colors

 * Updated "TV" magic tool -- simulates an image on an old cathode
   ray tube (CRT) television (now splits up the image's Red, Green,
   and Blue (RGB) components)

 * Fully rotational brushes are supported (by Paint and Line tools)

 * Small icons (badges) appear in the brush selection buttons,
   denoting when a brush supports rotation (or the older 8-way
   directional feature) and/or animation (multi-frame brushes)

 * Tons of documentation updates, and preparation for further
   improvements to the localization/translation of docs

 * Tux Paint Config. now appears in a larger window, with
   larger text and widgets (checkboxes/etc.), on high-resolution
   screens

 * Tux Paint Config.'s interface layout has also been reworked, so
   widgets are spaced more dynamically, and the window may be
   resized; helpful when some text wasn't fitting under certain
   translations/locales

 * Improvements to Tux Paint Config.'s "All Users" setting

 * A variety of bug fixes & translation updates


Finally, ages ago, we maintained a gallery of children's artwork,
submitted by their parents & guardians.  It's been more-or-less
14 years (hey, the age of my eldest child!) since I've had the
time and energy to maintain it.

Back in those days, I posted _everything_ I received.  I've sadly
contiued to ignore it -- simply filing away the occasional
submission I receive, in hopes for "some day" going back and
updating the gallery.

However, the gallery was, in the end, over-complicated.  I tried to
track every artist (even if we only received one picture), and listed
their age (except oops, kids get older over time!) and location
(people move!)

It was also based on 2002-era HTML with <table>s and a ton of
complicated PHP and a pseudo-database of image and artist data,
maintained in some text files.  And I really wanted to post
_everything_ I received, even if it was a dozen sequences from a comic
that a kid was drawing.

Today, I've got almost 750 submissions stacked up, waiting for me to
look through, but in the meantime, I'm also seeing some FANTASTIC art
being made by young adults, and posted over on Twitter.  I retweet
them (when appropriate), and yesterday we went back through all those
retweets and asked for permission to share their work right on our
website.  So far, everyone who responded has agreed...

Therefore, I'm happy to announce a new Gallery page, showcasing some
of the coolest art I've stumbled upon in the last year or so,
along with some of my favorites from the 2002-2010 era of the original
gallery:

  http://tuxpaint.org/gallery/

I'll continue adding to that page, and will also finally go back
and work through 14 year's worth of email to pick out some of the
best examples of art submitted by kids.

I'm retiring the original gallery, though it remains online for now.

Thanks, enjoy, and stay safe!

[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.26 release candidate 1 available

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

If you're interested in beta testing the upcoming version of
Tux Paint, version 0.9.26, and friends (config tool &
stamps collection), we've created release candidates that you
can download right now!

New in Tux Paint:

 * Ability to show much larger UI buttons; useful for high-DPI
   displays & eye gaze trackers

 * Ability to show larger color selector buttons (in multiples rows)

 * The "Fill" tool now offers radial & linear gradient modes, and does
   a better job filling around anti-aliased edges

 * New "Checkerboard" magic tool

 * New "Pixels" magic tool

 * New "Clone" magic tool

 * Documentation overhaul, for easier translation by the project
   volunteers.  French and Galician, and partial Japanese translations
   provided.

 * Reduced CPU usage

 * A handful of translation updates

Download for Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 (for both 686 and x86_64
architecture; and in both portable ZIP and installer EXE versions),
Windows 2000 and XP (in ZIP and EXE versions), macOS (10.10 thru 11),
and as source code (.tar.gz):

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/files/tuxpaint/0.9.26-rc1/


Not much happened with the Stamps collection since December 2020's
release (one translation update).  But you can get it for Windows
(ZIP and EXE versions), macOS, and as 'source' (.tar.gz):

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/files/tuxpaint-stamps/2021-06-13-rc1/


And in the Tux Paint Config. tool, the most notable changes are:

 * Options to control the new UI settings in Tux Paint

 * "All Users" support works on macOS again

It comes with the Windows versions, and is also available
for macOS and as source (.tar.gz):

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/files/tuxpaint-config/0.0.17-rc1/


If you try it out, please let us know what you think.  And, of course,
definitely tell us if you come across any problems.  That can help us
ensure that the final version that we make available on the website is
as stable as possible.

Thanks & take care,
