# Drawing



This simple image editor, similar to Microsoft Paint, is aiming at the GNOME

desktop.



PNG, JPEG and BMP files are supported.



[](https://circle.gnome.org/)



Besides GNOME, the app is well integrated in traditional-looking desktops, as

well as [elementaryOS](./docs/screenshots/0.8/elementary_labels.png).



It should also be compatible with the *Pinephone* and *Librem 5*

[smartphones](./docs/screenshots/1.0/librem_menu.png).

### Settings



The settings are managed by the `Gio.Settings` abstraction, which will probably

corresponds to the `dconf` database once the app is installed as a native

package.



With flatpak however, the settings are stored in a key-value file, which can be

found (and edited) at `~/.var/app/com.github.maoschanz.drawing/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile`.
