Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

First you download this:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0.8.2-1maemo9/
and then this:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0.8.2-1maemo9/
Then follow the instructions in the first post.
You might need python-support but i think it's included in this version, if not you can install it from xterm with this code:
apt-get install python-support (sudo gainroot first)
That should do it :D

Btw Anders_gud is it possible for you to edit the first post so it's up to date on how to install mypaint. You know with links and everything else needed for the new version :D

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

does anyone know the keys to use layers? mypaint refers to page up keys what is the equivalent key on the n900 keyboard? cheers

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

I don't know but you should be able to change them by tapping and holding and then choose the new key while holding and then let go :)

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Installing:
No need for downloading anything manually (this is the whole point of package management and repositories)

1) enable extras-devel repository
2) update package-lists
3) install package named mypaint
4) start mypaint

(These steps can be made with graphical application manager or xterm+gainroot)


It installs (or updates) newest mypaint (0.8.2-1maemo10 at this moment). It also installs (or updates) corresponding mypaint-data and newest versions of all needed libraries.

Additionally it fixes python-numpy bug if it not fixed manually before (this is the ln -s libblas.so.3gf libblas.so ; ln -s liblapack.so.3gf.0 liblapack.so)


So this should work just flashed phones or phones with any mypaint installed before. (If not send bug report.)

On the first starts it starts color chooser and brushes windows visible/top.

Default settings:
global pressure mapping: [(0.0, 1.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.070652173913043473, 0.0), (0.11956521739130435, 0.95833333333333337), (1.0, 1.0)]
input mode: screen (this is needed for pressure?)
brush: originals+tone's set
first brush: pointy_ink

NOTE: this input mode (screen) and this brush (pointy_ink) doesn't work for me, it doesn't draw anything. So could somebody test this without your own .mypaint-directory and then send me a list of working brushes? Is this even brush relating?


There are also key shortcuts that is not usable with N900, so who wants make a new list of default shortcuts (of course everybody can use own set, but I think it would be nice if there are working default set).

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Thats good to know Aapo :)
I just did an update yesterday to maemo8 in app manager and it didn't update my mypaint data so I had to do like i described hence my post about how to install.
Will try it now with the maemo10 and see how that goes ;)

e: It worked just perfekt Aapo thanks :) Sorry for the miss guidence.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

I can list what I have for modified hotkeys.

Fullscreen - ctrl + f
Show Menu - m
Rotate Counterclockwise - ctrl + left
Rotate Clockwise - ctrl + right
zoom in - ctrl + up
zoom out - ctrl + down
Brush List - b
Brighter - K
Darker - .
Layers - L
Background - C

Some regions didn't get the up and down arrow so take that into account as well.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hi, Aapo!

I updated MyPaint to maemo9 -> maemo10 .. and I used App Manager.

I renamed /home/user/.mypaint -folder.
So I tested without my .mypaint folder and mine default settings.

Everything is fine here.

Default brush pointy ink works also fine... so pressure working?!

-----
no problems with Customising keys... sorry!
I have of course old accelmap.confg in use..

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hmm it seems i am not able to edit keys... I also updated to maemo10 but still not working... I noticed that I dont have Fullscreen or Show Menu buttons in the menu too. Do you use the gtk_menu thing or the hildonized menu? (not sure if hildonized means what i mean,from other posts i think its the normal maemo style menu. Sorry if it means something else.)

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Oh.. maybe I misunderstand :o
.. gtk_menu should allow you to edit keys.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hope you guys don't mind me attaching these images all the time.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Ah ok, I will try gtk_menu later!

I just found a problem on saving my file... It has two layers, but i cant save it as .ora or .jpg ... I get the following error:

edit: merging the layers also didnt work... I am sorry that I wont be able to provide more information,but i have to go... I use the maemo10 version by the way.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hi!
apol657 - I am using maemo10 and I have no problems to save the files with layers or not. Interesting.. hmm.

object - very nice painting... "android" n-900? :D ... grrr... I must learn to draw.. figuratives.

harp - I do not mind if you attach images :).. I like to see what you can do with this great painting app.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

okey..im a long time reader but this is my first post and question about this nice piece of software..
after a lot of try and error I was able to get this thing to work.

but after the update to maemo10 I cant get it to start up again...
and when I try to start the app using xterm I get the following error:

/home/user # mypaint
process 5247: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 5757.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
Aborted

Does anyone know what kind of error this is? And is it easy fixable;)?

Thx in advance!!

I presume you are trying to run it as root. Don't do that... Run as user.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

I see!! thx for your quick reply...but..Now I get a new error:P

I have to add that I am a bit noobish deciphering these logs..

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

When you ran mypaint as root the .mypaint directory got wrong file permissions
remove the old .mypaint directory
as root:
cd /home/user/
rm -R .mypaint/
exit

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

I've remaped my keyboard to include pageup, page down, home and end + tab too. It make getting around site and document list just about every thing easier. It's not hard, you just have to make sure you do it right.

Wiki how page here

A post that help me here


I don't mine either, but don't forget post them the thread you started Look what I drew on my phone thread .... to keep that going too ... :D

Just thought I add to what Dousan said; in that with the gtk_menu on after you tap once you can use the arrow keys to navigate to the menu item you want to change, now you have both hand availible to make a shortcuts like shift-fn-P or whatever you can think of. It a lot easier this way for me. Unless I'm stating the obvious....lol oops.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Thanks for this, its so good, got my creative juices flowing. :)

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Thanks for your interest Tone! Ok everything got magically working after the gtk_menu! It could be a coincidence,or not idk... But what matters is that now i can save files, make shortcuts and have fullscreen(and a very small working menu at the same time if i want :D)! Mypaint became even more awesome with your help people,thanks again!!!

By the way as i see many of you know very much about mypaint, do you know how to save to *.ora again after i saved to *.jpg ? I tried save as file.ora but it creates a file named file.ora.jpg .I can always save as *.ora before exporting to jpg and then restart mypaint and open the *.ora file and saving format reverts to *.ora again... So its not that important, just kinda useful..

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

@anders_gud

Thx for your help!it's working like a charm:D!
Here a little Ctoon I made(A):

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

brilliant app but its stolen 10mb of root. can that be sorted out?

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

That must be the package lists from extras-devel...
Always disable extras-devel when you are finished installing packages from there...

Quite exciting what you can do on the device.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

why can it scroll at brushes gallery and brushes settings there is a slider but i cant go down ? is this a bug or something?

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

This could be a bit tricky because the slider is so small.. and it is the edge of screen. How is your Screen Calibrated?

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Here's one I did with just the oil brush. It's quite flexible.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Creativetone what do u mean by how ? normal calibration ..!

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Oh.. I point that "normal" Nokia screen calibration utility.

thanks for letting me know it wasnt mypaint. i did an autoclean and sorted it.

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Nice vid Tone :)

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

nice one tone. can someone post a screenshot of their pressure settings please. how do you turn lines off? im stuck on lines now lol

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

are the pressure settings on the first page still right?

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle

This works quite good for me, but i bet somebody else have found something better!

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hi, apol657!

I thought that the Global Pressure Mapping is already right...
when you make clean install?

Or is it that Pressure works bit different on the N900 device?

BUT.

In the page 10 are Screenshot of mine Global Pressure Mapping values... page 11 there is also a Zip file which include brushes and my settings.conf..

and.. the same page there is also qole's post where he shows those values of mine.

Hope that helps?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
btw. I am very pleased to those Global Pressure Mapping values..
can you somebody confirm that they are working right or is there differences... of course we use each other different kind of pressures and we have own style to draw and press pen..

I have noticed that there can be quite dramatic difference when using pen, like I do... or even when using default bit lighter stylus.. not to mention using finger (this also can be advantage when customising MyPaint brushes).

Sorry for long long post... :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: crail - for me those settings in first page do not work!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I share this link again and again, if you do not mind.
This shows how the pressure should now working...

VOTE FOR THE BUG!

Good luck!

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Is it not set to tones settings by default when you install the new mypaint from extras-devel (maemo10)?

Aapo and tone has posted the settings a few times some pages back, those settings work ;)

e: haha you beat me to it tone :D

E: My pressure works just fine and it's your settings and pressure settings from the first post doesn't work for me either it just made the brushes work without the connecting lines ;)

Btw Tone could you please post the settings for the 'line' brush that you show in the utube vid ;)

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Sorry i was just posting the screenshot of my settings for crail. Thanks though! I know about your settings on these pages but I didnt downloaded it cause till May ends I am not using my pc (where i would unzip the file) :( ... So i just copied your settings with my eyes, but I also played around a bit with them. But now i am posting this from a laptop ( I wanted to see Mypaint on a pc) so i will also download your settings and try them.

By the way the settings where probably right when i installed the maemo9, i just hurried to change them to my old ones, not knowing that the settings there where the best...


Edit: I just put your settings.conf and it is indeed working better! So for one more time thank you!

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle
 

Hi! There is The Liner_Brush... shows the my youtube video..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAUcrUO8rQQ

BUT NOTICE!

That Brushes folder "order.conf" are not updated...
I do not know could you just drop the brush in the current default folder.. I think that you must edit order.conf file to add it there.

so be careful..
