Ramon, thanks for this amazing tool! GPS is wonderful!

in GPS is there a way to map the presets to some key or wheel + key combination?

to be able to quickly navigate between presets?

maybe store them in hotkeys like mypaint does?

@attffgg No actually is not possible, there is no way to do that in the 2.6 branch. i miss that too.Mypaint is fairly more advanced in this field. Thanks for your comment, i am glad you like Gimp Paint Studio

I never thought about remapping the mouse wheel and stuff.

Instead of doing what you had done I changed the (shift) Scroll up/down to increase and decrease the brush radius. My zoom was set to (Ctrl) Scroll up/down on default so I'm used to that and don't want to change it. Thanks for this.

@BL00F0X oh that is a good idea too. I show that example to show how we can do the trick, but you can configure lot of things of course.This is about possibilities , you decide. and that is the good thing. thanks for the comment

@attffgg i'll update here the solution for these 2 problems...maybe someone needs it too!

the tablet stroke problem is solved simply disabling the advanced effects in the window manager. in linux mint case, the easier way is to just choose "gnome no effects" at the bottom of the login screen.

you can edit it permanently by going into main menu-control center-login screen and choosing the same gnome no effects. now it will allways load up the simpler window.

the lag i won upgrading!

@TheShockito thanks for the reply.

i'm having two issues using gimp+gsp+gimp painter in linux mint, maybe you can point me at the right direction?

1 the tablet seems to lose track randomly from time to time...you paint a stroke, raise the pen to stroke again but gimp doesn't see this second time. it requires a few more strokes for it to recognize the pen again. it happens going trough windows too

2 the strokes start to lag heavily after a while. (and my machine should handle it!)

any ideas?
