Description Tyson Tan 2019-10-29 15:04:36 UTC

Krita's File Layer uses a relative location to the .KRA file. However, we did not tell our users about it anywhere. Our documentation only warned about not moving the layer files. If we moved the .KRA file but not the layers, they'll still break. It's confusing to users without such knowledge.

May I suggest that we:
1) Add a message about relative location in File Layer's dialogue;
2) Mention it in our document: https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/layers_and_masks/file_layers.html
?

Thank you!

Sorry this seems more like a request than a bug.

The right thing to do in those cases is mark it was wishlist, not close it.
