Tips to using Tux Paint via Flatpak
- Sending command-line arguments to Tux Paint
- Invoke Tux Paint from a shell, script, or launcher via
flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint, with arguments to Tux Paint at the end (e.g.,flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --fullscreen=no). - Access my
~/.tuxpaintrcpersonal configuration file and~/.tuxpaint/personal directory -
flatpak --filesystem=~/.tuxpaintrc --filesystem=~/.tuxpaint run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --nosysconfig - Run Tux Paint in other locales (languages)
- Add the language(s) you want, by issuing the command
flatpak config --set extra-languages "XX;YY;ZZ;...", where "XX", "YY", etc. are two-letter locale codes (e.g., "es" for Spanish, "he" for Hebrew, etc.). Then issue the commandflatpak update.
That will install, among other things, the "org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint.Locale" package.
You may then run, e.g.,flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --lang=hebrew
