DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Replace Xpaint with Mtpaint



I found this cool image editor, that's still being actively developed, unlike Xpaint.

http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/

It's more user friendly, looks better (gtk1 instead of xlib), and has more features such as:
- exporting ascii art
- animated gifs
- layers
- gamma, brightness, contrast etc advanced image manipulation

Oh, did I mention it's 27kb smaller than Xpaint :P

So, any objections?


PS: I've already compiled it, take a test drive :)
two thumbs up! i tried it on two machines and it works great. i think it would be a great addition to the base distro! :)
Does it support xpm? Our iconView.lua is using xpaint as an icon editor.
Yes, it supports xpm. I've been using mtpaint for the last few weeks on my slackware system specifically for that purpose, and it is the *only* gui image editor on that box that can write XPM. I think the xpm lib in slackware might be broken, and perhaps mtpaint writes the file directly?

In any case, I particularly like using mtpaint for xpm because it automatically loads the color palette from the xpm file rather than displaying its own built-in palette as xpaint seems to do.
Sehr gut
