Testing sequencing in a story board

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita, using 1920x1080 300dpi document layout
2. Settings->Dockers->storyboard
3. Press + to insert a storyboard entry, draw anything, marked automatically scene 1
4. Press + to insert a storyboard entry, draw anything, marked automatically scene 2
5. Press + to insert a storyboard entry, draw anything, marked automatically scene 3
6. Back to storyboard 1, press + to insert a storyboard entry in between, draw anything, marked automatically scene 4

OBSERVED RESULT
The sequence between 1 and 2  is scene 4 (out)
EXPECTED RESULT
The sequence between 1 and 2 should be 2, and all subsequent scene will be AUTOMATICALLY renumbered

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Catalina 10.15.7 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Suggest the sequence number is implemented in a separate field and renumbering like an entry in a list (array) so artists will NOT have to manually retyping a such small but rather important information in a production routine.

Hi Hoang,

I can confirm this. It should be noted that this is about the scene "naming" and the auto-naming process. Frankly, I'm not entirely sure what benefit we get from having the scene be able to be renamed or given a name in the first place, but that will have to be part of a 5.1 redesign plan. I think most artists are interested in the actual order of the scenes, not the frame number or arbitrary name.

A good compromise here would be to have no-name be valid, where it programmatically shows "Scene #[Scene Number]" and still allow the user to override the name if they really need to. Since this will require new strings to be localized, this won't be possible until Krita 5.1. 

Also, I'm moving this to the storyboarding section for organizational reasons.

Thanks for taking the time to report a bug.
