I'm not sure how to accomodate this within the .ora file itself, not
without abusing it!

The most up to date version of what I am working on is now here:

https://github.com/benosteen/mypaint/tree/feature%2Fscratchpad

(I'll update the URLs on the videos in due course)

It's now (IMHO) getting to the point of being pretty useable and I'll
do a demo vid to show how it currently works.

Canvas <--> pad
-----------------------

As for linking a canvas with a pad - it would have to be external to
.ora for the time being and what you are asking for is to keep a pad
associated with a
work, not a particular file (eg linked to a 'painting', rather than
just '/path/foo/painting_v23.ora') This makes a lot of sense to me :)

Unfortunately, the code I have already done for this links a file to a
scratchpad, in a 1 to 1 fashion (a scratchpad was owned by a single
file, not multiple files.)

I could record the last scratchpad opened with a given file in the
settings and have that persist between sessions - would that do?

As the scratchpad directory is in the same directory as the
configuration, this might be a suitable way to share?
