Adding control buttons to the Shapes tool, allowing for shapes
to be drawn from the center (as before) or from a corner
(more like other paint packages). The controls do nothing
at this time, but are visible and can be clicked. This is a
work in progress.
The controls may be removed using a configuration option.
See "RELEASE.txt" for the invocation. Mended a few things prior
to final run of `tidy`, based on HTML Tidy's output.
Updated any affected TXT files via Makefile.
From "Open" dialog, select an image (single click, or use
arrow keys / etc., to highlight the image), then select the
"Export" button at the lower right.
The image will be saved in the export directory. By default
this will be based on the config found via the XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable, which is scanned for a "XDG_PICTURES_DIR"
setting. If none is found, "Pictures" in the directory specified
by the HOME env. var. will be used. In both cases, a new
"TuxPaint" subdirectory will be created, and exports will be placed
there.
The export location may be overridden using the "--exportdir"
command-line option or "exportdir" config file option
(e.g., "--exportdir /path/to/dir" or "exportdir=/path/to/dir",
respectively). In this case, the directory is assumed to preexist,
and no "TuxPaint" subdirectory will be made.
There's currently no way to disable the export feature altogether.
If there's demand, we can add it as a simplification option.
Finally, this feature simply copies the PNG file (but no extra
data files) from Tux Paint's "saved" directory to the export dir.
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/192/
Using XDG's user dir settings to determine where pictures are
stored for a user (e.g., "~/Pictures" -- used as a fallback).
May be overridden using "--exportdir".
Also, while I was updating some docs, replace references to
"Mac OS X" with "macOS", the new name of that OS these days.
Ability to disable stereo panning effect (e.g., paint brush, UI
elements sound effect feedback, etc.), useful for users with
hearing impairment in one ear, or situations where one speaker or
headphone is being used. Use "--nostereo" command-line option
or "nostereo=yes" config. file option.
New option to place color palette items at the end of the "New"
dialog, rather than at the beginning. Useful for when users
would want to pick from a set of Starters and/or Templates,
e.g., in a school or museum environment.
Available via command-line option "--newcolorslast", and
config file setting "newcolorslast=yes". (And anti-option to
override config file settings, "--newcolorsfirst" and "...=no",
which represents the original behavior, which continues to be
the default).
Suggested by Bernard Verhaeghe.
Documenting Mark Kim's recent changes:
* Less CPU-hungry progress bar (during Stamp loading)
* Verbose debugging options
* (Also, mentioned debugging _at all_, in INSTALL.txt)
Bumping version to 0.9.23a, to match the test build he's working
on for macOS.
