To move and link a folder

* mv <folder> /home/reclaim (observe that the folder doesn't exist)
* ln -s /home/reclaim/<folder>

If you wan't to test moving/linking a different folder than those listed here:
* cp -a <folder> /home/reclaim (observe that the folder doesn't exist)
* mv <folder> <folder>.org
* ln -s /home/reclaim/<folder>

If everything works OK, incl. booting / updating, you may
rm -rf <folder>.org

        elif command == 'RotateLeft' : self.tdw.rotate(-2*math.pi/14)

Eeek! Well I'll ask someone that knows math

The eraser toggle - I noticed you can scale brush and eraser independently and switch back and forth. But you are right - that equal size should be set to default...

Most of MyPaint is written in Python (a very readable high level language) so you can definitely hack at it with very limited experience in programming - there is also a lot of good documentation on the net. The UI code is located in /opt/mypaint/share/mypaint/gui/ (on the n900) - have a look there first.
I have no formal training in CS - I'm an artist (printmaking, painting) and occasional sysadmin and FOSS tyrant at an art school...

Cheers
Anders

So it should be 2*math.pi/16 = 22.5 and -2*math.pi/16 = -22.5

you'll need the 16, 22, 24, 32, 48 scalabe

They need a sym link in their corresponding folders here /usr/share/icons/hicolor

There are also key shortcuts that is not usable with N900, so who wants make a new list of default shortcuts (of course everybody can use own set, but I think it would be nice if there are working default set).

The "Toggle Eraser Mode" sounds bit more complicated to change back to the old skool. - And maybe there should be a option to switch between old way and this new separate brush scales for "brush" and "eraser mode".

Anyway, is there work being done on the app itself? (Besides packaging) Could perhaps do with some finger scrolling in the selection dialogues. If no-one is working on that, I could perhaps take a look at some point.
