Tux Paint network saves

[Little-Miss]

I must be missing a trick here. What path do i use in the config utility to make it save into a childs individual network account?

mapped drive H: not working?

I have mine setup to a local shared folder, Makes it easier for the teacher to pick and print

[sted]

go into the config program and tick use alternative save dir and put in h: /u: /whatever you want though id be tempted to add drive\tuxpaint. If its installed locally rather than a shared drive then you need to get the c:\prog...\tuxpaint\tuxpaint.cfg file distributed to apply the changes to other pcs

Do what sted says and make sure its apart of your mandatory profiles thats what ive done

[Little-Miss]

Thanks guys. I did try H: but it didnt seem to make a difference. Will try suggestions.

My config file has savedir=N:\Tux Paint\ and that is working fine for us. Did you have a trailing \ on yours?

Have finally had chance to visit this and have decided that the Penguin is evil!! I just cant get it to save where i want! It runs from the server but its almost like its ignoring the config file as i've told it to start on a blank page which it isnt...i've noticed its path is P:\Apps and not \\curricsvr1\apps...would that make a difference?

[stevenlong1985]

where is the config file kept? my users are using mandatory profiles, so the config file is install somewhere in the users profile.

 

yes it would make a difference it should be something like \\curricsvr1\apps

[Little-Miss]

ok, changing to \\curricsvr1\apps didnt work...

 

I use folder redirection so i'm a bit lost to how i could add the config file to them...i'm having a slow monday...

[Little-Miss]

Does this mean having to do something with the App data folder in the GPO?

[stevenlong1985]

Right, Tux config file is store in this location

 

\\curricsvr1\profiles\MandatoryProfile\Application Data\TuxPaint

 

all my users run a mandatory profile so all users get the same profile

 

in that folder is a "tuxpaint.cfg" file

 

my reads the following

 

# Generated by tuxpaint-config version 0.0.11

fullscreen=yes

lang=british

altprint=always

savedir=//curricsvr2/common/TuxPaint/saved/

startblank=yes

 

Hope this helps

the app data seems to be a red herring ive just installed and fiddled and as long as i change tuxpaint.cfg in r:\programs\tuxpaint (and make sure i select ALL users in the config page) the setting seem to apply wether or not there is a file in docs and settings

[Little-Miss]

DUDE! That's it!

 

I now have a save folder for the user. Theres lot of other bits in there...is there a way to get rid of that? I specified H:\TuxPaint. But they have to go into anoter folder called saved, and then theres a thumbs folder....

 

And what do you mean by select ALL users?

[sted]

On the config page of version i used there was a current user all user toggle box
