I found tux paint as a pet and downloaded it. It wouldn't work, so I checked and it needed a dependency. I found that. Now I downloaded the extra stamps as a tar.gz. How do I get the stamps over to the program?

tar.gz is an archive

have you tried opening with XArchive from the utilities menu?

Tux paint works fine, and I did open the extra stamps but I don't know how to associate the file somehow with Tux Paint.

according to there website-

1. go to stamp directory in ROX-filer
/usr/local/share/tuxpaint/stamps
or
/usr/share/tuxpaint/stamps

2. copy stamp file into directory or sub-directory

3. Restart Tux Paint

----
Where the stamp directory is goes depends on what value was set for "DATA_PREFIX" when Tux Paint was built. See INSTALL.txt for details.

By default, though, the directory is:

/usr/local/share/tuxpaint/stamps

although it could be-

/usr/share/tuxpaint/stamps

All stamp-related files go in the "stamps" directory. It's useful to create subdirectories and sub-subdirectories there to organize the stamps. (For example, you can have a "holidays" folder with "halloween" and "christmas" sub-folders.)

Awesome, I moved the file over that I downloaded to /usr/local/share/tuxpaint/stamps as you said, and it worked. The stamps were there. Thanks for your help.
