Description edgar.ej.mercado.2 2017-01-15 23:39:54 UTC
Okay, I'm not sure exactly how to classify this bug report because it addresses quite a few things I noticed today while using Krita.

Bugs I have noticed

-Pop Up Palette:
*sometimes when I exit out of the pop up palette, my cursor goes missing. I noticed this the past two weeks, but not at all today.

-Color Picker
*my tool randomly switches to the color picker

-zoom
*the canvas would zoom out a lot randomly.
*also, I noticed a thread here about a zoom feature being requested that would zoom in automatically at the cursor. Can I also request a zoom out feature that Photoshop CS4 has: resize canvas to window? It's a great quick command to zoom out quick.

-exif data
*When exporting and/or saving to jpg, the metadata doesn't get saved. 
*is there an option to export copyright status too?

I recorded all my paintings today with OBS in case you guys would like to see all the oddities. They are big files though.

Thanks for all the great work folks.

I also forgot to add this one issue I have too:

-wacom tablet
*I could not get touch gestures to work properly in Krita.
*Some of the weird aberrations I noticed (color picker suddenly popping up, zooming out randomly etc) could be due to touch gestures button being on in my wacom intuos PT. I'm turning it off today to see if I still see any odd issues.

I was also doing screen recordings last Sunday too. I don't know if that has any impact on Krita. I'm stopping that today as well to see if I see anymore glitches with Krita.

Thanks folks.

I totally forgot to list down my pc specs:

sony vaio duo 11
intel i7 3rd gen
8g memory
intel hd 4400
windows 10 home

I didn't noticed the weird aberrations as much yesterday, but I did noticed horrible lag once I started working with bigger resolutions and Krita crashed on me once. I disabled opengl and that helped a little bit as well as playing around with the undo stack. The lag was still apparent though :(. I read somewhere that going back to an earlier version of Krita for windows would help. Should I try this approach?

I forgot to mention that I've been on Krita 3.1.1

I tested 2.8... only got 5 min into it before I realized it isn't for me. I couldn't open any of the files I created in 3.1.1. I tried looking into the nightly build, but that seems over my head. So back to testing 3.1.1 it is.

There is already a shortcut to zoom the canvas to the window size: press '2'. If you come from photoshop, read the migration guide: https://docs.krita.org/Introduction_to_Krita_coming_from_Photoshop

Exif data is part of the layer, not the image. If you open a file with metadata and then add layers, then export to jpg or so, you need to merge down first and select the smart merge option to merge the metadata of the layers. We probably should optimize this...

Zooming issues probably come from accidentally touching stuff on the tablet that zooms; that happens to me as well with my intuos.

If Krita suddenly starts lagging, check whether there's something else eating CPU a lot.
Comment 6 edgar.ej.mercado.2 2017-01-22 19:35:16 UTC
Thanks Boudewijn for the no. 2 tip as well the exif data info.

I reinstalled Krita for windows without shell integration and that took care of a lot of the oddities. Either that fixed some of the problems I was seeing or turning gestures off and not screen recording did the trick. The pop up palette/cursor missing is about the only odd thing I'm still experiencing, but it's nowhere near as annoying as it was before. I had to restart krita/close and open documents to get the cursor back. Now I don't have to do any of that. I just wait for a little bit and the cursor come back up.

One last question; which would be better, saving to jpeg or exporting to jpeg?

Thanks for such a great program! I'm so in love with it I want it to have my baby...

Always save as .kra, then export to jpeg (or png).

Thank You
Comment 9 Halla Rempt 2017-02-27 19:28:41 UTC
I guess we can close this report now?
