Description keyth_qcfx2 2023-11-28 02:37:00 UTC

Ability to make a paste into new layer directly. Using a command like:

Krita.instance().action( "paste_as_paint_layer" ).trigger()

it would act like “edit_paste” action but would not be tool dependent on how paste would act. Currently “edit_paste” with every tool places a new layer but if the Reference tool is active it places references instead. In contrast “paste_into” does not create a new layer and gets stuck on a transform action and needs a input from the user to be finished. There is a “paste_as_reference” layer so it would be nice to
