Description David REVOY 2020-06-03 13:49:55 UTC 
Hi,

To reproduce:
=============
1. Open an artwork
2. Drag'n'Drop a Krita *.kra file from the filemanager over the canvas
3. On the contextual menu: select "Insert as Reference Image"

Result:
=======
A pop-up dialog with a red speechbubble icon and a white X cross on it tells: "Could not load /path/to/the/kritafile.kra" [OK]

Expected:
=========
Getting the Krita file (the flat projection of the picture) inserted as a reference. 

Note:
=====
This feature is very useful to me when I compare a comic pages (eg.with the previous and next page side by side to adjust colors). I'll switch back to 4.2.9 to do this task, it works there; so it is probably a regression of 4.3.
Comment 1 Anna Medonosova 2020-06-03 20:48:50 UTC 
I can confirm this; also in 4.3.0-beta1 and git master.
Comment 2 Halla Rempt 2020-06-11 11:13:42 UTC 
This should be fixed in the next nightly.
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2020-06-13 09:14:04 UTC 
Hm, this was built correctly now, but it still doesn't work, I need to look into it again.

Try really hard to load reference image files

Sometimes Qt just refuses to use the .kra or .ora qimageio plugin,
for unknown reasons, even if they are present, so fall back on our
own image loading code.
