Having multiple python 2.x (2.4 + 2.5 for example) causes problems.
Try with only python 2.5.4 install on your system.

Note: there is no problem to have a 2.5 + a 3.x

In fact the problem was caused by having 2.5 installed a bit older than 2.5 distributed with Gribouillis. Also LayGroup.mcc is missing in the archive and must be installed separately.

Quote:

Well, here goes an example of experimenting with Gribouillis and a tablet. The program works very well and looks quite promising. Some questions though:

1. Can I edit/remove a colour from the palette after I set it?
2. Are there any editing (cut/paste/crop) or magnifying options available at the moment?
3. Will there be an option to see the shape/size of the brush in "brushes" window?

...and so on, and so on ;)

@Kroszer:

First, thanks to have spent some time to test G2.

1. Palette can't be loaded/saved.
Clicking on an empty cell store the current color.
Drag from the color box at left of all sliders and drop on an cell (empty or not) to store the color.
Drag&Drop between 2 cells exchange their colors.
Drag& Drop from an occupied cell to an empty one copy the color.
Click on an non-empty cell to use its color.

2. No selection implemented yet (so not copy/cut/past). Magnifying is already implemented since the start: use the mouse wheel.

3. Not in r301 as I've just implement it today: http://www.yomgui.fr/yiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/en:dev:gribouillis2:g2_brushpreview.png

[2. No selection implemented yet (so not copy/cut/past). Magnifying is already implemented since the start: use the mouse wheel.

Interesting: I am unable to use the mousewheel for magnifying. When I push the mousewheel, it is possible to drag the picture, but with rotating of mousewheel does not happen anything.

@szt:

Check your mouse configuration, because wheel event != middle button.

if you could, put the ':' char after label text and capitalize first char of label

@zukow: I think you mention labels inside the brush editor window, isn't?

yes :)

Quote:

I don't have idea what can be wrong in my system, because magnifying with turning the mouswheel works very well in showgirls.

@szt: I don't know, you're the only one to report me that.

@ szt: I can also confirm that magnifying with the mouse wheel works fine here, no problems.

Great stuff yomgui, finally got to try it out last night.

And I can confirm magnifying with the mouse wheel works here aswell.

About magnifying with mousewheel I tried 2 things:
1. I booted from 2.7 iso and the magnifying did not work in Gribouillis2 but worked in Showgirls. So the bug it's not about some third party components.

2. I changed my PS2 mouse to USB and Voila! the magnifying in Gribouillis2 worked. Unfortunately I had to give the USB mouse back to my wife :)
Any idea why the magnifying works only with USB mouse?

[ Edited by szt on 2011/2/11 18:09 ]

@stz: need to check what your mouse sends when mouse-wheel is used.
So I need you for a small contribution

1. download this file: http://www.yomgui.fr/prv/docviewer.py
2. replace the one in view/pymui/ by this new file (rename the old one to not loose it and revert after). This file is for the r301 revision only!
3. run the application in a shell and play a bit with the mouse wheel inside the drawing area.
4. send me the console output.
5. you can revert to the old docviewer.py when done.

RowKey seems ok.

It's not that, so i've uploaded a new one (same url).
Can you just test it?

send the result using PM than posting it here

thanks.

New release: v2.6 r323

Changes:
- [NEW] brush preview added in brush editor window.
- [NEW] color window selector has a new squared selector
- [NEW] Layer manager window has 2 new buttons: Dup and Merge, to duplicate a layer and merge a layer with the bottom one.
- [CHANGED] the composite layers with the global background process has changed in the way that it composited at last, so layers seen it has always a full transparent layer.
- Optimized global layer rendering, speed gain x2, especially when adding layers.
- fixed mouse wheel events for PS2 mouses.
- thousand more fixes...

Bug fix for the r323
I've just got a report about an annoying bug: it's not possible to load an image as a new layer (exception raised).

So I've made a fix (v2.6, r324), and only the simple version is enough, even with the standalone one: just overwite your install with the contents of following archive:

http://www.yomgui.fr/projects/Gribouillis-2.6.morphos-r324.lha

New release: v2.7 (SVN r333)

Changes:
- I'm too tired to list changes now... I'll do it later

[ Edited by Yomgui on 2011/2/23 1:19 ]

unfortunately the file itself is not available/not found.
It seems that you were so tierd that you added the link but not the archive

I'm pretty sure to have put it (or something) this morning... let me check...


pouah!! "Transfer" has a bugged! and it had removed "/" from pathnames! so I've now some projectGribouillis-xxxxx files in root directory than inside project/ directory!

I'm going to fix that.

[edit] it's fixed!

[ Edited by Yomgui on 2011/2/23 9:28 ]

Ok, I've a few minutes to parse my SVN log and write a changes log for the r333...

what's up in the V2.7-r233?

======== Major improvements ========
[Brush]
- Split radius/opacity parameters to have range of value depending on pressure: min for low pressure, max for high pressure.
This permit to obtain a better 'real' rendering.

[Layer compositor]
- Added possibility to move layers independently from each other.
=> activate the drawing surface, press any SHIFT keys and drag using the middle button.
- Layers position saved by the OpenRaster format (.ora).

[Palette]
- More and smaller palette buttons (256).
- Load&save buttons (using a very simple textual file format )

======== Fixes and optimizations ========
[Brush]
- Optimized the dab drawing loops, plus fixed the dab center on the pixel center (was on it's edge before). That fix also the rendering at low radius (internally limited to .5).
- Fixed bounding box computation with a low limit to 3x3 pixels.
- Fixed some memory eats.
- Many other minors fixes.

[Layer compositor]
- Twice speed to render the model than before using better cairo compositing.
- FAST and BILINEAR filter used to render tiles depending on the zoom level used.
- Fixed blit memory trash under some conditions.

[View]
- Bigger draw area at startup, relative to the screen size.

[Others]
- Fixed default file pattern for load/save image requesters.
- Fixed PNG saving, plus added support of per layer position.

[ Edited by Yomgui on 2011/2/23 15:59 ]

Just a note: I've not yet fixed the problem of missing dependency in standalone version about Laygroup.mcc. But this MCC is easy to find on the aminet

Please note also that the simple version requires a new PyMUI! (r238)

[ Edited by Yomgui on 2011/2/23 17:55 ]

I prefer anyway the normal version not the standalone because it's faster to download and
install! Yomgui, you just need to tell what else you've updated, like pyMUI here so we know to update also.
