Description Neviril 2017-01-03 16:50:44 UTC

=Description of the bug=
The option:

Configure Krita > General > Miscellaneous > "Compress .kra files more"

...does not appear to have immediate effects on file size when saving an image.

This seems to be the case both with the active image and with a newly opened image.

Only after Krita is restarted the option appears to work as intended.

In my test case I verified that after restarting the program the option was able to decrease a 796 kB .kra file into a 743 kB file. Without restarting the program the file size would not decrease upon saving (also after making sure that the image was "dirty").

=Expected Result=
Either the option should work immediately or the user should be notified that Krita needs to be restarted for it to have any effect.

I'm sorry, but it does work directly, I just verified it in the code & by saving a kra file twice.

Compress option results

I tried again today with a new image, saving the image as a new file every time the option was changed.

I was able to reproduce the minor issue in that only after the program is restarted the option starts having an effect. Odd.
