Wolthera found this commit: https://invent.kde.org/kde/krita/commit/6daf2cb779a487194532002dc1e5f0cb90f77ac3 Which was made in response to this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359809 Where the reporter wanted to have a different opacity set in the gradient tool than in the brush tool. We need to do a bit of thinking here what would work best -- maybe define the painting tools as a special group that shares opacity or something like that. Well, I tottaly agree that the tools should remember their opacity status (the gradient tool issue) - like Krita does now. A special group of painting tools is a good idea, because you could have the rectangle, elipse and line ith the same oppacity as brush (although some users may not like this). Nowadays holding V Krita calls the line tool and consequently his opacity comes togheter. This is natural inside this approach. But, I think that could be different: - What Photoshop and other app makes, I guess (just a supposition) is: when you temporarly needs a straight line they don´t calls another tool. They "simply" lock the brush to only make straight lines. I think this is more elegant, and if Krita could do this the line tool became obsolete (could be removed from tool box) But, this approach must contemplate the resources we have now (the stuffs ALT and SHIFT makes when using line tool). By the way holding V+SHIFT+ALT doesn't work when you are with brush tool. Thank's for your quick reply. |
Created attachment 121914 [details] See the gif to clarify SUMMARY When I'm using brush with 70% opacity (example) and I hold V key to temporarly switch to Line Tool the opacity changes to what is set in line tool, ignoring the brush opacity. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pick Brush Tool 2. Set opacity to 50% (could be any number different than the opacity set in Line Tool 3. Hold V to temporarly changes to Line Tool and observe the opacity propertie on the "Brush and Stuff panel" OBSERVED RESULT You will see that the opacity "comes back" from the line tool. EXPECTED RESULT If I'm drawing with a 30% opacicity brush and need a "casual" straight line it's desired that this line had 30% opacity too. I think this is the pourpose of a "Temporary switch key" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 Home ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There is a GIF attatched
