Hi, To reproduce: ============= 1. Open an artwork 2. Drag'n'Drop a Krita *.kra file from the filemanager over the canvas 3. On the contextual menu: select "Insert as Reference Image" Result: ======= A pop-up dialog with a red speechbubble icon and a white X cross on it tells: "Could not load /path/to/the/kritafile.kra" [OK] Expected: ========= Getting the Krita file (the flat projection of the picture) inserted as a reference. Note: ===== This feature is very useful to me when I compare a comic pages (eg.with the previous and next page side by side to adjust colors). I'll switch back to 4.2.9 to do this task, it works there; so it is probably a regression of 4.3.
I can confirm this; also in 4.3.0-beta1 and git master.
This should be fixed in the next nightly.
Hm, this was built correctly now, but it still doesn't work, I need to look into it again.
