OK, I've finally reached the boiling point. After few modifications in Startup_1.set the program works, but there are some bugs that drive me insane.

Here we go:

1. any operation that requires freehand-drawn space filling ends up with "not enough memory" requester
2. straight line drawn in magnifying mode seems to loose first pixel.
3. editing palette in HSV is near to impossible. Tweaking the sliders easily turns every colour black/red/orange or whatever. That is, every colour except for (in 32 col. mode) 0-3, 14-15 and 30-31 (while in 8 col. mode everything seems to be fine - but as there are only the "untouchable" colours, the bug can't be seen)

I know that's an old program, but maybe these are just some trivial issues. If a patch for DrawStudio took so little time to write... Come on, MOS-Team guys...

P.S. I've read an old (2004) news about Cloanto sharing the PPaint source code with Genesi. I assume nothing came out of it, right?

That would be that one:

Right.

Thanks for at least describing what's wrong. I might take a look at some of the issues one day...

OK, now that I've drawn your attention... some more details:

Testing hardware:

1. Efika 5200B Radeon 9200 SE
2. Krashan's Pegasos II
3. rzookol's Pegasos II

blit libraries:

personal_agnes_blit.library, personal_68030_blit.library 0

(that line in Startup_1.set means, AFAIR that PPaint tries to use the latter blit library. With 1 instead of 0 (agnes) program hangs. With personal_ppc_blit.library (from aminet) program hangs). I've tested personal_68060_blit.library too, with no difference from the 68030 one.

On some earlier version of MorphOS (2.2?) there were some problems with screen refresh when using 3d layers. Now everything is OK.

If you'd like me to share some more information - you know where to find me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Reason:

"Merged old and new layers libraries into one, MUI screens can now be configured to use Enhanced Display or the old/compatible display mode"
http://www.morphos-team.net/releasenotes-2.3.html

Before MorphOS 2.3 you could only switch between new and old layer mode for all screens and per boot. As of MorphOS 2.3 you cannot enable Enhanced Display for non-MUI screens (like PPaint screen) anymore.
