 * When opening mypaint try holding your pen over your pen tablet. -- Anonymous, 2:35 on 4 January 2011

I like to draw my own lineart and then scan it, but I can't copy the image onto Mypaint. I opened the file using Mypaint and worked on it, but I couldn't save my work--even as a scrap--and it soon crashed. How can I fix this or save the file using Mypaint? I really like the program, but I can't use it the way I want to.

"* I'm new in this area. I'm investigating the amazing algorithm of MyPaint and I have a question. Can anyone help me to find the code part in which is described the filling of the states array (which is used in brushlib/brush.hpp)? I think it's filled during drawing, during pressing the mouse button (event.button = 1). "

I'm having a bit of an issue. I have a [Monoprice tablet] (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10841&cs_id=1084101&p_id=8571&seq=1&format=2) and MyPaint refuses to actually draw anything. Whenever I try to draw, all MyPaint does is drag through the "latest colors." If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, please let me know! (Also, other info is Windows 7 64 bit). Thanks a ton!

In response to the previous question: I also have a Monoprice tablet and it worked great my first run with MyPaint (Win7 64bit). Afterwards the next time I opened it, I had the problems you are reporting. I gave the 32bit version and it's working fine for the time being.

I have a new monoprice too, and I have the same problem. My tablet just switches between colors instead of drawing, but the trackpad on my laptop works just fine. I looked in help > debug > GTK input device catalog to see if my trackpad had become the new default Input Device, but the only option there was my tablet. Then I went to help > debug > input device and tested both my tablet and trackpad. For some reason, my trackpad's motions and clicks are picked up just fine, but only right-clicks showed up for my tablet. No motion, no left clicks, just right clicks. Does this extra info help at all? Are you guys working on a laptop with a trackpad as well?

For some reason MyPaint is refusing to run anymore on my Windows 7 64 bit PC, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. Running in compatibility mode, it doesn't seem to be working at all anymore. Any advice? --Anon

I would like some help too. All of a sudden, MyPaint stopped working. I literally can't open it, no matter how many times I click it. I can click it a hundred times and it won't start at all. It never did this before. I tried reinstalling it and turning the computer on and off, but it doesn't work. I'm using Windows 8 if it helps. -- Mirus, 26 Apr 2013
