(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Is the Paint.Net clone: Pinta a possibility for PET packaging?. I think it is less than 2mb. http://github.com/jpobst/Pinta

"The interface is largely based off of Paint.NET, but most of the code is original. The only code directly used by Pinta is for the adjustments and effects, which is basically a straight copy from Paint.NET 3.0.

Regardless, we are very grateful that Paint.NET 3.36 was open sourced under the MIT license so we could use some of their awesome code."

Requires Mono

Dear omskates,

From what I have read on the pinta site and http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40567, pinta requires Mono runtime, which weighs in at about 35 MB in an sfs. That is more than twice the size of Gimp, which is more powerful. So, not much bang for the buck, unfortunately, when dependencies are taken into account. Of course, I may be wrong, but that is my understanding.

With kind regards,
vovchik

I have searched high and low for something light and more intuitive than mtPaint - but so far nothing.

Gnome Paint is a possibility for the future though. It doesn't have gnome dependencies, but it needs a rather new version of GTK.

XNview might be good for its slight picture retouching and viewing capabilities. I saw a .pet somewhere on the forum.

Cheers!

What version of Gtk2 does puppy use?
Maybe gnome-paint can be modified.

Puppy has GTK 2.14. Gnome-paint will run with only a slight modification but you don't get any menus. I didn't mess with it further because the window was not resizable, making it useless for netbooks. It might be worth a second look though if someone wants to fix it.

Dear Jemimah,

Gpaint-2 (gnome-paint) compiles on puppy 3.10 (with GTK 2.10) just fine and the menus work. The window dimensions are controlled by HEIGHT and WIDTH vars in lines 38 and 39 of main.c:
The main problem with this app is that it does not support high bit depth and does not recognize layers and the alpha channel - which means no transparency. Of course, we could hack it.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Did you get this one? http://code.google.com/p/gnome-paint/

Gpaint2 and gnome-paint are different projects I think.

Dear Jemimah,

You're right. I got gpaint from gnu.org http://www.gnu.org/software/gpaint/, and it is old as the hills (2004 or 2005). Gnome-paint is 2009 or 2010. And the sources are different. Thanks for putting me on the right track. I wish the MTPaint gui had been done in Glade, because changing that would have been a breeze. I agree with you that we are missing an "intuitively obvious" paint prog that has the functions of MTPaint. Sumo.org once gave away a standalone sumopaint (version 1.0) via a German computer magazine, but I have not been able to locate it. It runs in flash. I, too, am still looking for a GTK-based simple paint that has undo, layers and the alpha channel. I'll certainly holler when or if I find something. M$ seems to have a lot of that type of thing available, but not my cup of tea.

With kind regards,
vovchik

"I didn't mess with it further because the window was not resizable, making it useless for netbooks."
Was there no resizing grip or statusbar?

"It might be worth a second look though if someone wants to fix it."
According to http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-app-dev ... 12493.html all one has to do is "hand define some uimanagers", as far as the menus are concerned. I could do it if someone has an example/link.

The resizing problem is certainly fixable. The GTK problem is more annoying.

The options are either upgrade gtk to at least 2.16 or rewrite the program to use glade instead of gtkbuilder.

@jemimah
I have a patch for using gnome-paint with gtk2 >= 2.14 (2.14.7 I tested on).
Can you test it?

Hmm, apparently spaces are important in a patch file and copy and paste to the forum doesn't work well. Can you attach the patch as an attachment or attached the patched source?

I opened the .ui file in glade3, then deleted the menu bar
and added a vbox in its place. The menubar/menus are created on startup in the vbox. Fixed a couple of other things too.

edit: For new version 0.3

The view, image, and color menus are empty for me. Did the work for you?

"The view, image, and color menus are empty for me. Did the work for you?"

There should be no dropdown menus for those.
Those are features that are not supported yet.
Only File, Edit, & Help should have dropdowns.

Then it seems to work for me.

The minimum height is still way too tall for a netbook. I think it's just they way the arranged the widgets.

----

Also the color picker doesn't show the colors.

"Then it seems to work for me."
Great

"The minimum height is still way too tall for a netbook. Sad I think it's just they way the arranged the widgets. "

Not too bad on an 10" Aspire One

I figured out how to fix the height, but not how to fix the color picker.
