Description Manga Tengu 2016-12-27 17:29:18 UTC

I have some scripts to batch export & resize my kra files as I draw my manga.
This is a very convenient tool as I have lots of pages to proceed.

Works fine with krita from apt-get since a long while now.
However with krita appImage it doesn't work. it gives me:
"File /tmp/.mount_VWclcQ/usr/waste_c7_p10.kra does not exist"

with "waste_c7_p10.kra" being the name of the file proceeded.

That's because the working dir of krita running from the appimage is different; the export command will work if you specify the path to the image, like 

bin/krita-3.1.1-x86_64.appimage ~/bla.kra --export --export-filename ~/bla.jpg

If I have to hardcode the location of the file it works but it means for every location I put files in for transformation I need to input the location by hand.

This works with the 4.0 appimage.
