I can confirm this on Krita 4.4.5 too. Custom Document settings does't affect Create from Clipboard's, But anything changed in Create from Clipboard will affect Custom Document's. This a huge usability issue for me. It happens too often that: 1) I need to prepare screenshots all the time 2) I copy a screenshot from the clipboard and paste it into Krita to crop and annotation 3) Now the Custom Document tab where I create normal documents has only 1 layer for its "Content" tab 4) I unknowingly draw on the background layer for a long time, and the effort is wasted. My opinion is, The last used state of: * Custom Document * Create from Clipboard Should not affect each other. Oh no! Custom Document also inherits the COLOR PROFILE of Create from Clipboard too! So if I used "As Monitor" when doing a Create from Clipboard, the Custom Document will later create with the monitor profile instead of the default sRGB profile! Now I think this is a more important bug than just a small glitch... I hate it too, it always changes my default 2 layers (which I like a lot) to one... and then I think I have two layers and I start sketching and it turns out I have been drawing on the background one. (and then Filter -> Color To Alpha is not really possible, because of the opaque default pixel, so the user needs to do special things to extract the sketch from the white background...). I think I should add some information about this bug so it might get fixed soon in the future. Every time I used "Create from Clipboard", it will inject the clipboard image properties into "Custom Document" -- Size, Layers, etc. I can easily change the Size back by loading a Predefined Size, but that wouldn't change the Layers count back to the default "2". Since the "Layers" option is hidden in the "Content" tab, it's very unlikely a new user can discover that. I think this is a major usability issue. I've lost count of how many times I found myself drawing on the white Background layer, leaving hours of effort basically useless. Oh, I submitted duplicate information because the webpage did not load properly, and I thought there was no bug information here. Anyway, still an issue with krita-5.1.0-prealpha-8f335dfa46-x86_64.appimage And it's now messing with tests for BUG451063. I can say that this issue makes me avoid Create from Clipboard entirely. It's basically a trap. Instead you can do File -> Paste into New Image from the welcome screen, but this won't allow finer configuration of the document when creating it. *** Bug 459884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think it might be a good idea to remove the "Create from Clipboard" menu entirely and instead make it a checkbox for "Custom Document". Does anyone need separate configurations between the two? Actually, I suppose it wouldn't matter much as you'd still need separate configs to resolve this issue. |
