When no documents are open, the dockers are all disabled except these 5: 1. Add Shape 2. Advanced Color Selector 3. Reference Images 4. Task Sets 5. Tool Options (Krita version: 2+git20141226+r73494-51-dk~ubuntu14.04.1) Reproducible: Always
Well, that's intentional -- at least, advanced color selector, add shape and tool options should be disabled too, since they only are relevant when there's an image open. Task sets can be used to guide the user through creating a new document and reference images is always useful.
Ok, thank you. Actually, having never dealt with "Task Sets" and "Reference Images" yet, I haven't thought at first that they could be of aid even when no documents are open, sorry.
If there isn't a document, you cannot add a shape to it or manipulate it with a tool. The color selectors are a bit more debatable. I've disabled that one, too, though -- now only taskset and reference images are enabled when there is no document. Push & close of the bug will be later because part of it needs to go through reviewboard.
