Description Filipe Marchesini 2020-10-23 10:22:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
I am on Linux Mint and I use KolourPaint on a daily basis to teach math. I was trying to change the custom-colors on the file called "keyfile" located on the folder /home/user/.var/app/org.kde.kolourpaint/config/glib-2.0/settings. Afterwards, all colors disappeared on KolourPaint. I then proceeded to undo everything I've done, but KolourPaint still doesn't show colors anymore. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling it, it seems this file is being modified when I reinstall it, so the bug persists. I need to download the original keyfile, as mine is corrupted. Could you send me it, please? 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to folder /home/user/.var/app/org.kde.kolourpaint/config/glib-2.0/settings
2. Locate a file called "keyfile"
3. Send me it, please. KolourPaint is awesome I can't live without it.

Correcting my sentence: the file "keyfile" on the folder "/home/user/.var/app/org.kde.kolourpaint/config/glib-2.0/settings" is not being modified even when I reinstall the KolourPaint application. I need this file back.

kolourpaint does not use a file named keyfile, but maybe this is a color
definition file you saved yourself (via menu Color -> Save).

To use the default colors, simply use the menu Colors -> Use kolourpaint Defaults
