Well, Tux Paint itself doesn't really deal with that either, so there's not too much sense in worrying about it in tp-config. :^) > I believe I was doing some wickedly lame thing like trying to get a list > of installed languages and comparing that list with the list of supported > languages... but that seemed a bit overkill, I dunno. Might be an interesting library to write some day, but I don't think it's a show-stopper for our project. ;^) > Then I started moving and I haven't thought much about it. Man, tell me about it. FINALLY finished moving last weekend. (Well, my friend Emily in Davis still has our vacuum and some other assorted items, but our old apt. is vacated. Actually, it's the 1st, so someone might already be moved in ;^) ) > But I am done > moving, and soon my DSL will be functional again.

Hehe, I haven't done anything in the READ dept. For now, we can simply do our best to read the current file, suck in the settings, and then write a fresh version (in our format), ignoring any comments or layout that were in the original. Seems alright. Most people will use the GUI all the time, and if they DO poke the config file by hand, they prob. don't care if their _precise_ layout gets changed. :^) One thing to point out... I liked how the "printer command" and "save dir" options would stay, but grey out, when their respective checkboxes were checked. So, if there's an alt. print command, or alt. save directory, but the checkbox is not set, I currently STILL write the option line to the config file, but simply comment it out with a "#" mark. In other words, the following: Results in: Use alt print cmd ? [ Unchecked ] (nothing in the conf file) Alt print cmd: [ (Blank) ] Use alt print cmd ? [ Checked ] printcommand=xyzxyzxyz Alt print cmd: [ xyzxyzxyz ] Use alt print cmd ? [ Checked ] (nothing in the conf file) Alt print cmd: [ (Blank) ] (it just doesn't make sense) Use alt print cmd ? [ Unchecked ] # printcommand=xyzxyzxyz Alt print cmd: [ xyzxyzxyz ] Hope that makes sense. I'm a little groggy ;) <snip> > > * The "Default / Apply / Reset" buttons don't work quite how I want > > > > I can take a look at these, I'll look at the TODO.

I'd really like to see a new release this summer, and tp-config is the big feature/addition I really wanted in it. It looks like we'll be able to do it! :^) :^) -bill!
