Forum member don570 reported a problem with mtPaint:

That is mtPaint 3.50.10, compiled in OpenEmbedded for Easy Scarthgap. The Devuan repository has mtPaint 3.50.11; so why didn't I use that? -- don't recall, there was a reason.

I have compiled mtPaint 3.50.13 and created a PET. The operation that don570 tested, now works:

# mtpaint --cmd   -f/new w=1184 h=624 =24   -e/col a=0 -s/all -e/cut -e/col a=173  -e/freetype font='DejaVu Sans' antialias=0 size=70  back=-1 angle=0  -e/freetype t='Puppy Linux v10.9' -e/paste  \(300,210\) -effect/gaussian=3  -e/layer trans=0 -effect/gaussian=1  -s/all -e/copy  -e/'Save Clipboard'/1 -e/set  grad=1 -e/col a=0 b=173 -e/tool grad \(300,200 700,500\) -e/tool grad: type=lin ext=mirror     -s/all -e/cut  -e/'Load Clipboard'/1  -e/paste -effect/'Soften ...'=50  -f/as=/usr/share/backgrounds/default format=jpeg

This will be in the next release.
