Created attachment 130605 [details] Sample Photoshop palette file There are a series of Palette Docker related bugs I’ve discovered when doing community support: Krita won’t save imported Photoshop .act palette. It will drop any imported .act palette upon re-launch. Krita will break an imported Photoshop .act palette upon re-launch if it was embedded in a .kra file. The said palette is kept, but completely glitched out. When importing a palette, Krita will ask “Do you want to store this palette in your current image?”, if you choose “No”, Krita won’t import the palette, but loads “Swtch CMYK” palette. When importing a palette, Krita will ask “Do you want to store this palette in your current image?”, no matter which you choose, Krita will always set the value as “Document” in Palette docker’s “Folder” icon (Edit this Palette) dialogue. Workaround for importing Photoshop .act palette in Krita: Import a .act palette Store in current image - Yes Export the imported palette as .kpl Load the .kpl palette Re-launch and it’s still there.
Thanks for doing this! Part of this is caused by me being too busy with my bachelor's thesis when the palette gsoc project went in, because this is indeed terrible ux, half of the problem is also that I am not sure krita knows how to load act files from a kra, they should've been converted to kpl beforehand :| Will take it. Don't know when I'll get to it.
No problem! I have become more acquainted with FOSS community operation these days. I can understand. I wish one day I can help with some actual codes. Please take your time. We have an easy workaround for this bug anyway. I will make sure this one is answered in our expanded local community FAQ.
Git commit d76561ce8b4aefc906995a3c5f53265df387fe71 by Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier. Committed on 15/08/2020 at 09:11. Pushed by woltherav into branch 'krita/4.3'. Remove global/document import question for palettes. It was terrible UX and it didn't work, meaning non-kpl palettes would be impossible to import and break documents. We still need to figure out a way to convert non-kpl to kpl palettes, but that might be master only.

Git commit cc04d8f048d196ca950d5c1f7372111497ab85dd by Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier. Committed on 15/08/2020 at 10:26. Pushed by woltherav into branch 'master'. Ensure saved palettes are KPL. We get errors with .act and other palette files. There's still weirdness with filesnames here. Not sure if backportable.

Thank you Wolthera! :D
