SUMMARY Using the 4.3.0-prealpha appimage (git 05ad360), I had initial difficulties with the Mixer Slider docker plugin. I didn't know that a restart was needed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use the Python Plugin Manager to enable the Mixer Slider docker or the Assign Profile to Image docker (as examples). 2. Follow the instructions for their use as given when clicking/selecting the name of the plugin in the list of plugins. 3. Become confused when they don't work. OBSERVED RESULT It seems that you need to restart krita to have them working. EXPECTED RESULT A note about this, next to the title 'Python Plugin Manager' would be very helpful and there is room to put one there.
