While #FOSDEM has not uploaded our keynote recording yet unfortunately (technical issues as our movie is CC by-sa and their recordings are usually CC by), we decided to upload the full recording of the movie screening + live music (cine-concert) at least for our patrons. Musicians are from AMMD ([@ORL_AMMD](

Today I finally merged one of my 2013 patches for @npub1jxdd...txs3! (with improvements of course) 😁 This is a new action to switch to last used tool (defaulting to Shift-X shortcut). As a side change, I also made so that once an effect has been validated (or canceled), the previously selected tool is activated again.
We are currently preparing a new stable release of @npub1jxdd...txs3 3.0. A lot of work is being done in backstage by our developers, packagers, translators, testers… stay tuned! Also we remind that anyone can join the team of testers, if you want to help us finding issues, posting feedback and so on:

 This upcoming release was much needed and incorporates a ton of fixes for various bugs πŸ¦‹!
Anyone using one of the languages where @npub1jxdd...txs3 3 crashes lately (Norwegian, Turkish… AFAIK) on Windows, who could test an installer for us? See:

Update by Bruno (16/09/2025) We are aware and triaging this bug, which is likely a bug on Windows set_locale() function....
 The bug is in Windows, but we may have a workaround (to be confirmed by testing) until Microsoft fixes their code.
A few days ago, we finally merged an early implementation of link layers (layers linking to external files) into @npub1jxdd...txs3. This has various usages, e.g. the ability to work at several people on a same image by linking a separate document (e.g. someone working on backgrounds and another on characters). Or again when working with different software. For instance, in this example, the layer links a #SVG file. As soon as it is saved in #Inkscape, #GIMP picks up the updated version automatically:
Very late reshare as I discover the article just now (bad anti-spam filter which ate the email!) and didn't even know I (Jehan) was cited in there:

Are there anyone around who uses the "Overwrite" paint mode of Paint.NET (also in Pixelorama; and in Aseprite as "Copy Alpha + Color"…). Apparently a useful mode for pixel art. Anyone used this in any of these software and would like something in @npub1jxdd...txs3 ? We have some Windows and Linux test builds and we'd welcome feedback:

 Note in the screencast how color and opacity are overwritten (rather than blended with the background red).
