Description Josh Bell 2012-06-28 05:45:37 UTC

I started working on a document with the latest release of krita (the beta) on windows and had to move back to ubuntu where I use 2.4. Unfortunately, the .kra files from the beta didn't play nice with 2.4 (they showed only transparent canvases). To overcome this problem, I exported the file as a .ora file. This worked with Krita 2.4 - I continued work on the file in the .ora container. I added several vector layers (for text, shapes, etc) to the document. I was silly enough not to resave the project as a *.kra and subsequently lost all of my vector data. This is totally my fault for not reading far enough into "Open _Raster_ Archive" but a warning of some sort would’ve averted the dilemma.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save a .ora file with raster content.
2.Add vector content and save.
3.Restart Krita and open the file.
4.Vector data is lost.

Ai! Yes, OpenRaster doesn't support vector layers, just like it only supports rgb and grayscale images. I'll put in a warning if there are vector layers present.

The other issue you mention, where .kra files form 2.4 beta don't load worry me even more. Do you have one of those files for me so I can determine the issue and make Krita support them properly?

Sure, here's a file. I just checked it again and I'm still encountering the same issue. Do you want me to open a new ticket or is it fine as-is?

Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2012-06-28 08:18:05 UTC

no, this is fine. I'm looking at it right now. Problems with loading .kra files have the highest priority :-)

Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2012-06-28 08:19:52 UTC

Zut... Yes, I can reproduce in the 2.4 branch. It works in 2.5 and git master, fortunately. But that means that at one point a bug fix didn't get backported, and we've just released the last version of Krita 2.4 before releasing 2.5 :-(
