Reference images docker is great but I think it strange I cannot use normal pan and zoom tools to move around the image. It would be so much quicker and intuituve then the current option where you can only drag to zoom in,and then are stuck with scrollbars and slider to move round and zoom out. It's a small thing,but it would make using the docker much quicker. secondly would it be possible to store the links of the images you added to a .kra file? That might save time between several sessions where you wouldn't have to load each image again and again. Otherwise last used image links could work as well.
Hi, I'm an old (in all senses) user of the computer. I design, paint and teach these subjects at the University of the Third Age (I have a site: www.avelino.it absolutely not up to date but who wants to see some of my stuff can look at it). Recently I discovered Krita, I am absolutely thrilled to use it and I bought an Intuos 5 tablet. I use both Win 7 and Linux in a minimal Debian installation done by a friend hyper-expert. I like the portrait, and I am looking for realism (I have some work for the hands, but I have not posted anything yet, ... in Google plus (Krita discussion) I have posted some work-in-progress!). Krita dokers among its features the "Reference Images" unfortunately at each session, the program forgets the loaded image in that window. I think that also save the path to that file in the Krita document is trivial, as no one has ever thought of that? Also in respect of the management of "Doker" any variation of zoom (using the appropriate Doker bar in the reference image) the portion of the display image always starts from x=0 and y=0, while it would be more convenient and proper that the active center of the zoom was also the center of the new zoom level ... I hope I explained myself! Also, the docker "Reference images" allows you to pick the color and I find this very useful. Unfortunately, besides the defects above mentioned, it happens that during the click to pick up the color if, without wanting, you move (even slightly) the mouse, it generates a zoom and you need to reset the zoom of docker window! Thank you, Ave.
I just want to add my +1 to reference image paths being stored in the .kra and loaded when opened.
