TuxPaint Portable 0.9.20 Development Test 1

I like it. Seems like it'll be a good addition. Worked well in my brief test. Didn't do a full reg check, etc on it yet, though. I will later. Let's get some other testers on this.

Here's the regulars.

• The appicon.ico should have the current sizes also in 256 color format.
• You're missing App\Appinfo\appinfo.ini.
• Rename Appinfo to AppInfo.
• Missing App\Readme.txt.
• Missing Other\Source\AppSource.txt.
• Missing Other\Source\Readme.txt.
• Add your copyright in the source.
• Line 169 of the source, change the 100 to 0 as we're dropping fades on the splashes.
• Lines 212 and 213 of the installer you have pre-install code for SumatraPDF Portable.
• Add more info the the help.html, decapitalized the first letter of the tagline, and under TuxPaint Portable-Specific Issues add the four basic support topic bullets for all the apps here.
• These lines:

  		IfFileExists "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaintprefs.txt" "" RememberPath
  			${ReplaceInFile} "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaint.cfg" 'File: $LASTDRIVE' 'File: $CURRENTDRIVE'
  			Delete "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaintprefs.txt.old"
  

  Should they not all deal with TuxPaint.cfg, where's TuxPaintprefs.txt come from? And do you actually have to replace the drive letter? because I don't see anything.

I think that's it. John's right, this is a cool app, though I'm surprised he's never seen it. Good work. Also, update this post with the format stickied at the top of beta testing when you get a chance.

It still creates an empty folder in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\ called TuxPaint.

Also, the configuration program should have a launcher too.

I like it. They have it at my school, kinda odd, but this is great.

I've just had the chance to play around with this, and it takes about a minute to launch (duplicated on 2 different usb drives) but other then that it seems to run well and leaves nothing behind.

if you need it here's my system configuration:

Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
P4 2.0Ghz
2GB Ram
Kingston DataTraveler 4.0GB
USB 2.0
AVG Free version 8

AVG 8 sucks, big stylee. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what was slowing things down. Try disabling it and see if app launch speed improves. I uninstalled AVG 8, that's how bad it is. Pity because 7.5 was great.

Tux Paint is great! Might appeal to my three year old. Didn't have any major issues with it. The "stamps" show up really tiny but that's more a program "feature" rather than a portable app issue.

works fine and great...

My 12 year old daughter likes it!

Thank you very much!

Could you renew the download link?

I know this is old but I'd like to test it out. It think it'd be a great addition to PortableApps.

pls, fix it

@Digitxp,
Would it be ok with you if I took Tuxpaint over?

But it is like a lot of other development apps on here, the link is broken and I can't download it. Then where is Development Test 2 and Development Test 3 there is just one link for Development Test 1.

Just followed the threads in this topic and just wondered if this project has been formally picked up? @agdurrette - you mentioned you were going to pick it up, is this the case?

Thanks,
GrahamG

The link in notes does not work. Links to Patrick Patience website, but nothing there. Link would be appreciated.

If no-one else is picking this up I'd like to take it on. I already have a working version of the basic app, but:

a) Haven't figured out yet how to create an additional launcher for the secondary 'Config' program; and
b) Need to create a 'Plugin' Installer for the additional 'Stamps', which shouldn't be a problem.

someones got something up here:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Education/Windows-Portabl...

i think it could just be packaged in PAF and it would work, but looking at the files, it has no launcher so it is either modded or mislabelled as portable

i will check
