Version: svn trunk OS: Linux When call a filter ( ex: HSV adjustement ) the dialog start by setting the sliders to the last used values. An unwanted behavior. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Go to the top menu - Open a picture - Filter > Adjust > HSV Adjustement - tweak a weird value on sliders, it will color your picture - accept - close Krita - open it again - Open a picture - Filter > Adjust > HSV Adjustement Actual Results: Krita remember and propose the last value on opening the dialog. Expected Results: I prefer start by the 0 point ( all slider to 0 = no effect on the canvas ), then move the sliders to see the change. For some Filters, 0 is not conveniant ( Blur / pixelise / effects ). But a default settings is necessary on dialog opening. The "last used" setting is on the preset, if I need it anyway. Affect almost each Filters with preset possibility
There was another bug that said it should be exactly the other way around. So the auto loading is actually a feature.
Why not load the last used settings on demand ( in the preset menu options, 'Last used' ) and propose to users a real 'default settings' ? It would be way more logical on a workflow point of view. This other user who wanted this feature is surely from the time of old Krita 2.3 ; it's just for someone who want to save 1s in adjusting a series of photo because he don't know how to batch. This color adjustement now are usefull for tweaking artworks, and need to be neutral at launch and let the user experience feedback while moving sliders and curves. Launching directly a 'last used preset' is like display a wrong solution each time. At least, if the most of team don't agree with my point of view on this topic, can I ask a 'reset button'. I will press it all the time... but that's far faster than 'saving', 'open Gimp' and 'do my color correction'.
I said 2 wrong things on the previous comment, sorry ( can't find 'edit button' so I add this ) - "from the time of old Krita 2.3" wanted of course to do a references to older than 2.2 version when target wasn't for digital painting but for photomanipulation. - "can I ask a 'reset button'" , such a feature already exist : within the 2 presets 'Default' and 'Last Used' , 'Default' act like a reset. There is a bad Ui consistency : Filter at launch , launch the 'Last used' settings, but in the preset its displayed 'Default' label. User can't know by selecting 'Last Used' on the list, then reselect 'Default' the filter come back to default value.
I agree on David's point of view about this, please confirm the bug.
Snip of irc discussion: 21:04:19 < slangkamp> any opinions on bug 285807? 21:04:20 < bugbot> KDE bug 285807 in krita (usability) "Filters : auto loading of last settings at dialog opening Not good behavior" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://bugs.kde.org/285807 21:05:29 < dmitryK> LukasT: ok 21:05:51 < boud> slangkamp: well, not really much of an opinion; the current implementation is a bit unfinished. 21:07:05 -!- dmitryK [~dmitryK@178.217.108.14] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 21:09:46 < boud> but in principle, I think we should look at what our users need: we don't cater to batch manipulation, so startng tools, filters etc. with default settings makes sense 21:09:59 < boud> a painter might want to adjust levels on his image, then paint, then adjust levels again 21:10:08 < boud> but he wants to start from zero the second time 21:11:23 < Animtim> yep, that's the point ;) 21:11:47 < boud> the current filter dialog was done before our focus 21:14:10 < slangkamp> shouldn't be hard to change that 21:14:20 < deevad> many thanks :) <3
