Hi David, please scream loudly when things change in master that cause problems for your workflow.

Could you test a small thing for me on git master? (remember that you don't have to install it, can just run straight from source directory). In gui/canvasevent.py change MOTION_QUEUE_PRIORITY = gobject.PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE to MOTION_QUEUE_PRIORITY = gobject.PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE + 10 or even MOTION_QUEUE_PRIORITY = gobject.PRIORITY_HIGH Does that make the performance any better? > Maybe it's a local bug...

Everything can be solved :) And from the information you gave it even looks like the problem is in MyPaint itself, so it should not be too hard. -- Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list Mypaint-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
