Thanks for posting about MyPaint.

AFAIK, MyPaint is natively portable (not stealth though, I think it saves settings - location of the scrap folder and brush groups and order, in MyPaint folder in %AppData% but I need to double check that. Anyways, nothing that a simple wrapper / launcher cannot handle).

Also, I believe there are already similar apps in the DB.

We had a discussion recently on listing portablized applications from winpenpack, portableapps.com, etc. in TPFC database that you may want to check. I, for one, am not so keen on adding X-MyPaint to the database for reasons stated there.

Just from the screenshot, some of those brush tools look fairly unique. Programs that really enable an artistic user rather than just basic photo editing / modification are very welcome.


What did I miss in that thread? As the dude who brings the apps, it worries me that you're avoiding wrappers and only aiming for natively portable submissions.

I just don't want to see TPFC becoming a mirror site of winpenpack, portableapps.com... etc. Anyways, MyPaint is indeed an excellent, easy to use, paint program. Maybe someone is willing to request the author to offer a portable version for download?

OK, I contacted the developer and was pleased to find out that there actually is a portable version of MyPaint http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2009/08/mypaint-git-build-for-win32.html available (scroll down the page for a download link or get it @ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2554170/mypaint-0.9.1P.7z).

This is a slightly modified version that adds support for additional image formats and has extra brush packs.

But wait, due to a bug in python, this portable version writes some settings to gtkfilechooser.ini in %AppData% (Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\gtk-2.0).

Python bug:

Suggested 'temporary' fix

Can JPE manipulate %USERPROFILE% before loading mypaint.exe to fix this minor issue?

Funny! I found this post is in connection with mine "unofficial submission" (btw, sorry for that "garbage")
I can confirm this is a GREAT proggie! actually the "X" version is 100% stealth and it works like a charm on my USB stick.

BTW, have a look on my post here: I'm trying to convince them in a formalization

@rikylov

Are you affiliated with WPP?

NOPE! I'm an ITALIAN university student that loves portable applications in GENERAL. On my 16Gb USB stick I've some proggies by WPP but also some by PA and a lot of natively portable taken from TPFC.
I have a personal preference on WPP because of native Italian language and (IMHO) due to the fact they made better portabilizations of some apps I use everyday.
BTW this is a really great collector/container !

--EDIT---
anyway MyPaint forum answered me! (very happy to see this!!)

Very cool program, definitely something I'd like to play with if I had one of those Wacom tablets.
