I tried to recognize the pattern when the issue occurs, but still not sure, here is the one which always fails in my case: 1. In Krita create a new image (in my case this is rgba 1024x1024 8 bits per channel, where content is a layer with white background). 2. Open this image in Chrome: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/ep05_Special-holiday-episode/low-res/en_Pepper-and-Carrot_by-David-Revoy_E05P02.jpg 3. Right click the image, choose 'copy image' 4. Go back to Krita, hit Ctrl+v, or select Edit -> paste In my case it doesn't work, and I don't see any error message. Funny things: It works fine when copied from Firefox (always). It works fine in gimp (always) - BTW, when I try to paste something Krita apparently completely doesn't understand (as far as I understand, I mean something like text when **not** being in text edit mode) - then I don't see an error saying "unrecognized format" or something like that and I think there really should be an alert like that. Because otherwise user is left wondering "where did it go?", "maybe it pasted in this 0-opacity layer or something?". BTW II - thanks the software, it seems very cool (I just started playing with it today :)) Krita Version: 4.1.0 OS Information Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 Build CPU: x86_64 CPU: x86_64 Kernel Type: linux Kernel Version: 4.4.0-116-generic Pretty Productname: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Product Type: ubuntu Product Version: 16.04 OpenGL Info **OpenGL not initialized**
I wonder if this is specific to Ubuntu 16.04 I just tested the right click > 'copy image' from chrome on Windows 10 and it was ok. I know dragging an image directly from Chrome to Krita doesn't work as Chrome copies the URL for the image and not the image data (Firefox drags the image data so you can just drag an image from the browser right in Krita to copy/paste it).
@Scott > I wonder if this is specific to Ubuntu 16.04 Well, could be. I even installed "CopyQ" program, which enables previewing the clipboard content, so after copying something I can see what it is (image / text). But... my investigation didn't bring any clear results :( I mean I admit I gave up, because it seems there are problems with the CopyQ program itself. Sometimes after copying an image I can see... two images listed there, each with different quality o.O I thought that maybe it's simpler for Krita's devs to see what is exactly going on, step by step (what does the program receives from OS), than for me to make wild guesses based on another app which could be buggy (CopyQ):)
I could not reproduce this error on my system. Application Version: Master OS: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic Kernel: x86_64 LINUX Browser: Chrome Version 69.0.3497.92 (Official Build) (64-bit) Perhaps try apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to make sure all dependencies are met. You could also try running krita in a flatpak to see if the behavior is more normalized in a contained environment.
