The GIT version of the latest GrafX2 2.9 solved the issue saving the config file. This is the best version of GrafX2 for AmigaOS4. Runs very smoothly on my X5000/20. Thanks for the update. Very happy! Excellent work!

I also experienced the same problem as you that the config could not be saved. Downloaded the GIT version, so the GIT version should work, according to Kas1e.

Check the original version from github.  It works there. 
https://github.com/smarkusg/GrafX2/releases/download/24072024/grafx2-2.9_git.lha 
It is possible that the package on os4depot has some files from older versions.

Thanks for this new version. I can't save the config on my setup. Is anyone else encountering this problem?

Hope that Grafx2 can be updated to the latest version, which I think is version 2.9 as present. This is a really great Open Source 256 color bitmap paint program that certainly can be improved greatly, getting closer to DPaint and PPaint in comparison. A great paint program that is worth a great update. Keep up the excellent work.

Does Grafx2 supports HBrite mode?

Is it possible to make this wonderful pixel paint program to work in 1920x1080 32bit mode? It seems that Grafx2 doesn't display higher resolutions than 800x600, I think. 
Otherwise, it's a great program.

Is it possible to bring this good program to the current 2.8 version?

Did you try to press on volume button, to have choice need it path ? By default you are in the current directory only, and to open any file you need to use volume button (design of programm)

And it seems to have problems on SFS and JXFS-Partitions opening Files.

For me it works with SFS. Didn't try with JXFS , but one user also report that he can't load files from JFS.

Theres a bug in the current SDL release, which I have since fixed. I'll do (another) upload of SDL soon.

When opening this program, all I get is a new, namelss screen of 640x480 resolution, which is black. At the bottom however, a white line appears and below that a finely checkered whitish line slowly fades in and out in some 5 or 6 seconds. 
 
But alas, I used to have exactly the same behaviour from NetSurf and one or two other programs...

@xenic 
 
What, and go back to the bad old days of every SDL port having a different 
version of SDL built in? No thanks. 
 
Shared objects work great for most people, as long as you're using the latest 
version of OS4.0 or 4.1. 
 
For grafx2, just make sure you have the following shared objects installed: 
 
libSDL-1.2.so 
libSDL_image-1.2.so 
libpng12.so 
libjpeg.so 
libz.so 
libgcc.so 
libc.so

Just compile the libs into the program; they get loaded at runtime anyway (if 
the program works). There is nothing to be gained with the shared objects except 
 
additional problems.

I'm getting an error around LibSDL-1.2.so.  I've got the file in my sys:sobjs 
dir and I copied one to the local dir with the same results.

Have you got a link to the Shared_SDL requirement or is it included.
