New handbook is available here as a pet package.
It warns if you try to install the pet package
while mtpaint is running. Quit mtpaint and try again.
Note that Slacko and tahrpup do not allow the second install
of the same pet package so un-install procedure is needed.

Debian version ---- There are 2 debian versions: Lucid , and Trusty Tahr

mtpaint-debian_3.45.01.tar.gz (1.21MB)


I will give the instructions for installation separately:

Ubuntu Lucid - download mtpaint-debian_3.45.01.tar.gz
Open archive to find the mtpaint_lucid_3.45.01.deb
A simple install by double clicking. There should be no warnings .


Ubuntu Trusty Tahr - download mtpaint-debian_3.45.01.tar.gz
Open archive to find the mtpaint_tahr_3.45.01.deb
and libgif package
Install libgif first. There should be no warning.
Next install mtpaint_tahr_3.45.01.deb. There will be a warning screen
that the package is bad quality but click 'ignore' button and it will install
properly.
or install by install command
sudo dpkg -i mtpaint_tahr_3.45.01.deb

_________________________________________________
Note: This version works properly on a wide variety of Puppies
however DO NOT use it on Lighthouse 503
because of an incompatibility with libjpeg
nor on Scottman's Akita which doesn't use the Jasper library
for advanced jpeg handling.

I compiled mtpaint using puppy431.

I have been running this on my 3.01 box and only needed to install jasper from puppy linux 4 repos.

[Gnuxo]

Can I ask a question?
I checked the Mtpaint website but I didn't find any mention of versioin 3.44.13.

...And the only versions available for download are 3.40

Is this a Git version or something?

[don570]

Yes. I got it from git.

There is a link to git from the official mtpaint page.

The current maintainer took the summer off for a vacation.

New version 3.44.28


Added Dutch right click .

I didn't notice any bugs.

a feature I really hope can be implemented in mtpaint is the ability to save tiff images with g4 compression, any time in past I tried to save a tiff image, after converting the colorspace from RGB to INDEXED, (2 colors: black and white), the result was always a LZW compressed tiff (not g4)

[wjaguar]

[Dingo]

I managed to bypass the issue converting the tiff in png and then converting the png to tiff g4 with graphicsmagick
