Tux Paint stores files in your account's "Libraries" folder, under
|
Tux Paint stores its data files inside the "Tux Paint" icon (which
|
||||||
"Preferences", e.g.:
|
is actually a special kind of folder on Mac OS X). The following
|
||||||
|
steps explain how to get to the folders within:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
/Users/(user name)/Library/Preferences/
|
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. Select "Show Contents" from the menu that appears. A new
|
||||||
|
Finder window will appear with a folder inside called
|
||||||
|
"Contents."
|
||||||
|
3. Open the "Contents" folder and open the "Resources" folder
|
||||||
|
found inside.
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It also looks for files in the user's "Preferences" folder, e.g.:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/Users/(user name)/Library/Preferences/TuxPaint/brushes/
