Description Rafal 2019-06-04 11:31:54 UTC

1.It seems like Krita became less responsive to drag and drop images from internet and folders. When i quickly drag and drop image from internet browser or folder to krita, it sometimes does not load the image. I have to drag it to canvas again, wait a 1-2 second then release the button and it works. This dosen’t happen always, Sometimes Krita loads the image as intended and sometimes doesn’t. Then i have to drag it again and again and wait a a while with dropping over the canvas. Quite annoying.

2. Second, it seems like I can not drag and drop layers from one opened kra file to another opened kra project anymore. I used to do that in previous releases without a proiblem.

3. Third. I can no longer drag and drop images from the “Open file” window. This was extremely useful as it allowed me to open recent folder and just drag and drop from it, then a context menu will pop up asking me do i want to open as new image, new layer, reeference etc. Now the only way to do that is to drag and drop it from windows opened folder.


EXPECTED RESULT
I would like to be able to again drag drop images from Krita open file window to canvas and move/copy layers between different projects in Krita

That's because the Qt developers messed up drag and drop in Qt 5.12. Rumour has it that they fixed it in 5.12.3.

Comment 2 Rafal 2019-06-04 11:39:15 UTC

Can i download it?
The last stable build is krita-nightly-x64-v4.2.0-7-g618c973d6d-setup.exe
Is it this one ?

Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2019-06-04 11:41:07 UTC

No, there is no build with a fixed Qt 5.12.3 yet.

OK, I will wait then.
Sorry to ask it here (i know its not the place) but i really want to re-download Krita 4.1.8 again. The problem is the windows version of 4.1.8 is missing in Old Version Library. There is only linux version there.

Comment 6 Halla Rempt 2019-06-04 11:49:31 UTC

There has never been a 4.1.8 for Windows because 4.1.8 only contained a single workaround for problems with krita on some linux distributions.

Hello

Just wanted to update that Drag & Drop problem is not fixed in the 4.2.1 release.
At least it behaves the very same as 4.2.0 on my maschine.
