XPaint has a new home
I have now created a SourceForge project for XPaint and moved all the old releases there.
Find it at sourceforge.net/projec....
(...and if you'd like to contribute, mail me...)
Minor app-default correction possibly required
Since posting of version 2.6.4, a few users have complained about the behaviour of Button3 action on toolbox icons for some X server implementations. This should fix the problem :
(update for XPaint.ad.in & XPaint_fr.ad.in & analogues):
xpaint*Toggle.SimpleMenu.translations: #override \
<MappingNotify>: highlight()\n\
<LeaveWindow>: unhighlight() MenuPopdown()\n\
<BtnMotion>: highlight()\n\
<Btn1Down>: highlight() notify()\n\
<Btn1Up>: highlight() notify() MenuPopdown()\n\
<Btn3Down>: highlight() notify()\n\
<Btn3Up>: highlight() notify()
XPaint was born first
Why not use XPaint? It's small. And don't forget that it was first released some years before The GIMP.
How is this different from the GIMP?
How is this different from the GIMP, and why would anyone prefer one to the other?
