mtpaint 3.49.12- April 2016

[charlie6]

Hi don570,
I find this very interesting ... and much appreciated !
thnks also for the new mtpaint version ...dwnld'd
(i have had some wacom stylus misworking with 3.44.59; i'll test this new one)
Cheers, Charlie

last edited: i gave 3.44.60 a try ... and encountered the same misworking as on 3.44.59.

test using wheezy-3.5.2.5 + wacom MTE450 tablet

I then uninstalled 3.44.60 and install an earlier 3.44.04 on the same puppy session (without power off or elsewhat).

3.44.04 works OK for tablet use: pressure sensitivity and possibility of variable line drawing accordingly; as also opacity.
None are working on 3.44.60.

Here is a screenshot showing the differences between both versions.
note: In both tests, i had deleted /root/.mtpaint file prior to the install.

HTH
I stay ready for any further help or test.

Cheers, Charlie

edited: got the same results after compiled 3.44.62 on dpup wheezy-3.5.2.12 (kernel 3.14.2) which comes with version 3.40; as also tested on another PC (Dell620 + wacom Volito2 tablet).

Thanks. This is a GUI breakage - will fix it in the next version.
In future, don't hesitate to report any bugs directly to me, as soon as you encounter them.
With my reimplementing the entire mtPaint's GUI in V-code, anything at all may break in any weird way. And the sooner I learn of that, the sooner I fix it, and the less impact it will have.

There is no such animal as a "known bug" in mtPaint; if you find a bug, it automatically means that I don't yet know of it. Absolutely no point to suffer in silence.

P.S.: Patch is attached. Should be applicable to any version since 3.44.51, when the breakage happened.

while we are on the subject, what is the trick to get a pasted image to "stick" before going on to the next tool without vanishing and having to re-paste. Does anyone else have this or is it yet another issue with my touchpad.

If I understand correctly - tapping the enter key sticks the paste.

Hi Dmitry,
Tons of thanks for quick replying !

Have applied the patch and recompiled »»---> tablet settings work now like a charm !
Also somewhat added missing french locale strings to fr.po (the attached archive has both mtpaint.po and mtpaint.mo in it).

HTH
Best regards, Charlie

Hello @Technosaurus

while we are on the subject, what is the trick to get a pasted image to "stick" before going on to the next tool without vanishing and having to re-paste.

Hope this is what you're looking for:

1. drag and position the pasted-image to where you want it
2. move the mouse outside of the dragged image
3. rightclick
4. go on to next action

Here to help

2. move the mouse outside of the dragged image
3. rightclick once
4. go on to next action

yeah that's the part that always causes me problems ... I end up doing a ritualized combo of mouse clicks trying to get that part to work on my touchpad in puppy with gtk2 ... it may be a gtk issue because I never have problems in fltk apps. for me the tool selected commit is workable. my only intuitive alternative would be to patch it to allow any clicks outside the image to apply the current process.

Warning !! Avoid version 3.44.67 .
I won't post it because I found a nasty bug when using the gradient.
Earlier versions are fine.

Hi don570,

Code: Select all

I found a nasty bug when using the gradient. 

i've 3.44.67; would you mind describe a bit more about this?
How do you use gradient...?
Have you already posted to wjaguar ?
Cheers, Charlie.

[don570]

The app disappears when the gradient icon
on the settings window(that toggles the gradient on and off)
is clicked .

I warned Dimitry a couple of hours ago.


I also warned him that the Blender application doesn't properly
display a PNG image with transparency if mtpaint created it.
That appears to be Blender's fault since lazpaint and gimp will open up
the same image fine.

Hi don570,
thanks !
i also got a

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# mtpaint
Segmentation fault
sh-3.00#

when clicking on the "gradient bar" within the "settings toolbar" (press F7) once the gradient has been validated in the gradient dialog box;
BTW, I found this nice Mark Tyler's «how to» about gradient use, and other mtpaints matters: ..thanks to him !

Fixed in 3.44.68.

Doesn't understand color-key transparency. Usual case with 3D software - just use alpha channel, when preparing files for them.

[don570]

New version 3.44.68 works great. I highly recommend this one!!

And if someone is feeling adventurous he can compile version 3.44.69 from Github and test whether I broke something in there again.
