Initial port of new Paint app. NEW VERSION #14

Follow to that thread on aros-exec, i found that Yannick port LodePaint to AROS, and, i build aos4 version from that sources with a very small changes (makefile, and 2 little problems in sources related to aos4 itself). That programm use SDL and OpenGL for rendering, and it of course not fast just because it's developing on modern PC's, and optimisation make no big sense here with all those powerfull gfx cards and many ghz of cpus (maybe at this point, later maybe it will be better as usuall).

So, it's pretty slow for now (but still usable). Even on AROS with hardware acceleration it's a bit slow now.

@kas1e

I am interested, can you upload it somewhere ?

@kas1e

It look a good paint program, but it doesn't need SDL library? because some programs that used it runs slow.

@kas1e

Looks interesting - in a later version the use of AISS should be mandatory...

@Sinan
Yep, will upload that today (not at home right now)

@Templario
SDL here are must, because programm based on it at all.
Speaking about "slow" stuff related to SDL, it's basically not problem of SDL itself (our realisation of SDL on aos4 more or less fast), it's problem of un optimising code which done initially on fast PCs (and coders just not detect these problems). If author will in interest to work together, then, it will be faster (but that not problem of SDL, just some side-back effect of it :) )


@cha05e90
I think about the same exactly :) If i will have "good contact" with author , then i can commit aos4 specific code to.

@kas1e

Seems really nice!
I will try it asap you upload it :)

Sound interesting ...
Any planed release date ?

@kas1e

You should realy use AISS images,would help alot on the layout.

@kas1e
It would certainly be a nice addition to OS4. While we have a number of paint apps, none of them ticks all the right boxes, so another one (especially free) could be good.

@ChrisH

Also, none of them are truly OS4 native.

Photogenics and PPaint work nicely* under emulation.
GIMP is native but needs AmiCygnix.

* Actually Photogenics is horribly unstable, but if you save regulary and are prepared to reboot, it works nicely

@Chris

There is also port of GraphX for all amiga-like, but imho it suck very much.

@all
there is. Not direct link (some ugly free file hosting, but works. Download link will be at bottom of page)

Known bugs: slow and crash on exit. Other ones feel free to report here.

@freddix
If everything will going as planned, then, pretty offten will be updates (as i can see on sourceforge, author add new code every day for now).

@Antique
Yep, AISS are must. Right now it looks (menu and buttons) a bit ugly for me. Just like old win3.1..

But in general, everyone can create now "os4 like" theme for it. In the programm directory anyone can found files:

gui.png
icons16.png
icons32.png

That all about buttons for gui (mean simply redrawing of images will works).

@kas1e

Tryed :)
REALLY NICE!
It crash on exit but the operating speed seems not so bad to me :)
I hope that plugins will be activated soon :)

GOOD WORK!

Graphx is great for Old 2D picture drawer like me who love Dpaint Hope graphX will also progress...


This lodepaint program on SAm667EP look like when using program with amicygnix (about speed term) but without anicygnix environment).

This lodepaint program look like a linux program (menus and GUI colors) who run on the amiga but directly. How is it possible ???

A new program is allways welcomed, just missing some speed...

The crash at exit freze the SAM. Maybe memguard could catch something...

@Mrodfr

Yep, it slow :) But as i say before GUI colors it's just handmade images which you can draw yourself (in main directory of programm icons16.png, icons32.png, gui.png).For example you (or anyone else) can even put here AISS icons (with a bit smaller size). I just not do it myself because programm are very alpha for now :)

Dunno why author choice that theme, maybe because he initially do all the works on unix (dunno). But there is also win32 port present (with the same not so good looking gui/menus).

Speed must be better 100%, not like now. Maybe later it will be improved ..

I hope it has layers and more stuff then arteffect than im really curious of this app. I hope it gets updated and optimized. But then i havent tried it. URL ?

@Kicko
I put link in post#13, but there is.

@kas1e
Can't download
When I clic on DOWNLOAD it send me to a page with WideStream6 to Download and not os 4 lodepaint ...

@freddix
I think you pressed the 2shared toolbar download?
There is a small text saying Save file to your PC: click here.

Try that instead

@Freffix
Yep, those file-sharing hosting are suck :) As Troels say try at bottom of page (little small text with link).

@kas1e

hey thanks! what a great friday, a blender update, OWB updater and now this cool paint program

it works but slowly on my Samflex and I get a guru when I exit but it looks like a nice promising program so far
