Bug 361920

Closing Krita while multiple views of the same file have been opened using the "new view" option fails to cause the "The document [filename] has been modified. Do you wish to save it?" dialog box to appear. This makes it erroneously seem as though the files have been saved correctly even when they haven't been.

Test cases:

The dialog box will appear under all of the following conditions:

1. Having a single copy of the file open
2. Having two completely different files open
3. Opening a second view, closing that view, then closing the program

The dialog box will not appear:

1. Having two views open of one modified file and then closing the program.
2. Opening TWO OR MORE files, and opening a second view for EVERY ONE of these files

Things go straight to crazytown if:

1. You have multiple files open, all of which have been modified, n-1 of which have multiple views open.

Several things happen in this last case that I'm having a bit of trouble parsing out. As seen in the documentation link, the amount of memory taken up by Krita undergoes a pretty big spike when you do this. If you have at least one image open WITHOUT multiple views open, the dialog will appear for JUST THAT IMAGE. As noted above, if ALL the files have a second view open, the program will simply close without the dialog. The extra weird element here is that regardless of what option is selected, once you click the exit program button, any projects with multiple views open are doomed: they will ALL close, even if you select "cancel," as seen in the last documentation image.

I think that's what's going on here, at least. It seems like anything with multiple views open just can't handle the program being closed.

System information:
Windows 8.1
Intel CPU

Reproducible: Always




I have noted this as a crash since, in essence, it functions like this from the perspective of the end user, with a similar risk of lost data, as I found out to my deep sorrow.
