mtpaint is now developed as mtpixy by the original author Mark Tayler (mtPaint means Mark Tyler's Paint) as part of a larger Spreadsheet and terminal utilities suite called mtCellEdit - but the described mtCellEdit appimages cannot be found.
The goal would be creating a mtPixy module for 5.0 x86-64 Porteus that fully supports webp also. (When that version would also run on Port 4.0 and 3.2.2 I would be as happy as a clam at high tide
)Elaborate version:
I was looking on help for my issues with getting the scripting going in mtPaint as you can see here
https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... ost6384750
but the only person answering could only send me help pages about mtpaint.Rava wrote:Hi,
I have trouble following the mtpaint handbook in getting my own mtpaint scripting going.
My version calls itself mtPaint 3.50 while the package it came from calls itself mtpaint-3.49.32-x86_64.https://sourceforge.net/p/mtpaint/discu ... #1e9d/e00e
I read https://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/handboo ... ap_10.html and have issues here:There is no such thing as Image->Scripts->Configure'First is direct execution. Select 'Image->Scripts->Configure' menu option, choose a free script slot in the list on top, enter the commands in the window below, press "Execute", and it will happen. If there is an error in your script, execution will stop on it and the problem will be reported.
When I click Image->Scripts I get this
Do I do something wrong, or do I need to find a more in depths HOWTO about mtpaint's scripting ability?
I want to create a simple script:
resize to 1920x1080
Unsharp Mask - Radius 5 Amount .5 Threshold 0 [x] Gamma corrected
save with same file name
or minimal variants, like
resize to 1920x1080
Unsharp Mask - Radius 5 Amount .7 Threshold 0 [x] Gamma corrected
save with same file name
or
resize to 1920x1080
Unsharp Mask - Radius 5 Amount .4 Threshold 0 [x] Gamma corrected
save with same file name
Any tips appreciated on how to get to the 'Image->Scripts->Configure' part.
Searching further I found via https://sourceforge.net/p/mtpaint/discu ... #1e9d/e00e this
The link https://github.com/matyler/mtCellEdit/releases/tag/3.3 is a 404.
The link https://doc.marktyler.org/mtpixy/en_GB/chap_00.html is only the mtPixy handbook.

Since mtPaint means Mark Tyler's Paint - mtpixy sounds promising.

(highlighting by me)mtPixy (2016-2022)
This Linux GUI app is a revisit of mtPaint to experiment with a simpler, more modern user interface. I also used C++/Qt instead of C/GTK+, and added a few command line utilities for testing purposes. The source code is part of the larger mtCellEdit suite.
I am not that much interested in mtCellEdit for now, which is a spreadsheet program, and mtPixy is one part of that larger suit. I would still love to get my hands on mtCellEdit - to extract mtPixy and see if I can get it to run on 5.0 x86-64 Porteus, and also to get it to read and write webp which is essential for any pixel graphics program for me.
The goal would be creating a mtPixy module for 5.0 x86-64 Porteus that fully supports webp also.

But the mtCellEdit*.AppImage is nowwhere to be found.If you are new to the mtCellEdit suite and you don't want to build all of the packages from source, you can test mtCellEdit or mtPixy using the attached AppImages which should work with most x86_64 Linux distros from 2014-2022 (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, Arch, Slackware). If you download the binaries somewhere on your system and then run it using:
chmod u+x *.AppImage
./mtCellEdit*.AppImage
https://appimage.github.io/mtCellEdit/ sounds promising by the appimage.github.io/mtCellEdit/ part of the URL… but the download button only redirects to the above named https://github.com/matyler/mtCellEdit/releases - where no AppImage is found.
Other searches for "appimage mtCellEdit" also gave me no mtCellEdit*.AppImage results.
e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=%2 ... %22&ia=web only lists
which as described above gives no appimage downloads at all.https://github.com › matyler › mtCellEdit › releases
