A number of people have found that the "savedir" option in Tux Paint isn't suitable for them, because all of their students share the same remotely-mounted filesystem.
An easy way to get around this would be a simple GUI that asked for a username and then set the savedir to "R:\remote\$username\", rather than just having everyone's Tux Paint save in "R:\remote\". I can think of a very easy way of doing this in Linux... use "kdialog" in KDE, along with a trivial BASH shell script. Unfortunately, I haven't the foggiest how one does this in Windows (or on Mac, for that matter). Should we create platform-specific solutions for this? (One for Linux, one for Windows, one for Mac, etc.) Or should we perhaps instead create a new simple FLTK GUI that teachers can set up, and then kids can use to pick their name from a drop-down? In the meantime, I guess I'll play with kdialog to see if I can at least prototype what the interface should look like. :^) -bill!
