I recall translating this error message a few months ago; it's quite new. Is the logic of this message possibly incorrect? I typically don't cancel an export process, which is why I didn't notice it sooner. Yes, something is wrong here. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2531 Git commit 2021dbb4514340a703c92b31d1ebdc1ebb38018c by Halla Rempt, on behalf of Joshua Goins. Committed on 17/11/2025 at 15:11. Pushed by rempt into branch 'master'. Don't show an error when cancelling an export If the file type prompts you before actually saving (for example, PNG) it's still possible to cancel the export process. However the previous logic considers this a failure, and will show a pretty unhelpful dialog that there was an "unknown failure" while exporting your document. Instead, lets treat it like a cancelled export which doesn't display a dialog. startExportInBackground unfortunately doesn't provide enough information to the callee since a boolean can only state if it was successful or not, I chose to just bubble up the KisImageExportErrorCode instead.

Created attachment 179167 [details] Unknown Error when canceling export and overwrite Krita displays an Unknown Error message when canceling an export and overwrite dialogue. Tested with krita-5.3.0-prealpha-b22ece9db2-x86_64.AppImage (2025-03-06). I began to notice the issue around late February. Steps to reproduce: 1) Export a PNG 2) Choose an existing filename 3) When asked about overwriting, click Yes 4) Cancel exporting on the next dialogue Krita then shows an error message: "Could not start saving PATH. Unknown failure has happened." A screenshot of this error is attached.
