I often accidentally move the mirror tool while painting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set mirror mode and try to lock it. 2. 3.
Hi Silvia, Thanks for your report. Since this is a feature request, I'm setting the bug to "wish"
I was thinking of trying to tackle this item. For a solution I was thinking of having a right-click menu on the draggable move icon. That way it is easier to lock it right after you get done moving it. When you right-click over the move icon the following options will show: 1. Lock (the move button will change to a lock icon and be take up less space) 2. Move to canvas center 3. Move to last position For #3, I was thinking Krita would remember the previous location you moved the mirror tool to. These functions would be separate for the horizontal and vertical tools.
actually we probably can't put it there since the pop-up palette is also the right-click on the canvas. It might have to go where the toolbar item is at instead
I started working on this. This is kind of what I am thinking... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-PBf7Qz8kQ&feature=youtu.be There are a few other requests out there for mirror tool options, so that is what those are parts are for.
Thanks for working on the mirror tool :). Looking forward to the next update. Youtube says "This video is private." :/.
ahh sorry. I forgot to change that. Let me know if using it like this is ok... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-PBf7Qz8kQ
I also gave it a try last night, but tried to put it on the handle which also works http://imgur.com/iuFwhjU
Sven. thanks for that approach with getting that to work. While working on this last night, I also looked through some other improvements with the mirror tool. One of the requests is to "hide the mirror line" completely so it doesn't get in the way. it might be difficult to use the right-click menu if we end up hiding the entire decoration. I didn't realize you were planning on looking at this too, or I would have wrote a comment earlier.
In case anyone want to try the other way. I will drop the patch here: https://paste.kde.org/pxnk8kw0l
I like both solutions :). Can't wait to be able to lock the mirror axes and to be able to recenter them. Thank you so much for improving the tool.
