Description Wolfgang Baer 2026-02-09 20:42:28 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
- open menu: settings -> configure krita -> author
- click the plus icon to create a new author profile with title e.g. test
- enter the profile data like name etc.
- click ok
- open the author dialog again - result: the profile selection is reset to anonymous

Next test:
- open the author dialog again
- choose the test profile
- close the dialog
- close Krita
- open the kritarc file
- search for [autor]
Notice that the profile test is not set there

Oberved behaviour:
the new profile gets saved as:  AppData\Roaming\krita\authorinfo\test.authorinfo
but no reference to it gets written into kritarc

Expected behaviour:
the profile gets saved and a reference to it gets written into kritarc
