Tux Paint stores files in your account's - "Libraries" folder, under "Preferences", e.g.:

Tux Paint stores its data files inside the "Tux Paint" + icon (which is actually a special kind of folder on + Mac OS X). The following steps explain how to get to + the folders within:

+ +
    +
  1. Bring up a 'context' menu by holding the [Control] key and clicking + the Tux Paint icon the in Finder. (If you have a mouse with more + than one button, you can simply right-click the icon.)
    2. +

  3. Open the "Contents" folder and open the "Resources" folder found + inside.
    4. +
  4. There, you will find the "starters", "stamps" and "brushes" + folders. Adding new content to these folders will make the content + available to any user that launches this copy (icon) of + Tux Paint.
    5. +

Note: If you install a newer version of Tux Paint + (by replacing its icon), you will lose changes made by following + the instructions above, so keep backups of your new content + (stamps, brushes, etc.).

+ +

Tux Paint also looks for files in a "TuxPaint" folder + that you can place in your system's "Application Support" folder + (found under "Library" at the root of your hard disk):

- /Users/(user name)/Library/Preferences/ + /Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/ +
+ +

It also looks for files in the user's "Preferences" folder, + e.g.:

+ +
+ /Users/(user name)/Library/Preferences/TuxPaint/brushes/
