There already are two config files used by Tux Paint. One is in "/etc/", the other in "~" (the ".tuxpaintrc" file). I think for this release, though, tuxpaint-config will simply ignore the fact that there's a 'global' config file, since really it only exists on Linux and Unix systems, not Mac or Windows. And, of course, the MAIN reason for making a GUI to set config options is because Windows & Mac users don't want to learn how to edit the config file in a text editor. > BTW, it'll be fun to watch you beat up on kid pix 4.

Out of curiosity, would there be any reasons a school would decide to switch from Tux Paint (open source) to Kid Pix 4 (commercial), e.g. due to particular features TP lacks, but KP4 will have? -bill! _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
