My child wanted to be able to draw on pictures that she took with her
XO's camera, using TuxPaint instead of the Paint activity.

I couldn't find a simple way to do this, but I did come up with this
python script to grab the most recent entries from the Journal and copy
them to TuxPaint's saved images folder.

The process goes like this:

1. Use the Record activity to take a picture. Use the "Keep" button to
   save it in the journal. Quit Record.
2. Open up Terminal and run the script. I have this script aliased to
   a command in my .bashrc file, just to make things easier. Ignore any
   error messages.
3. Open TuxPaint and click the "Open" button. Your most recent PNG files
   from the Journal should be in the saved directory.

This copies the most recent eight items from the Journal into the
TuxPaint folder and renames them as PNG files. TuxPaint then filters
out the files it can't recognize, and what remains is your camera images.

I'm not much of a programmer, and I have no idea how to navigate the
byzantine levels of the Journal structure, but this seems to work pretty
well for me.
