Conditions: Arch Linux system, build from git Qt Version: 5.15.2 Opencv : 4.5.4 Charcoal drawing doesn't remember previous pencil size issue STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open jpeg image in editor 2. select charcoal drawing tool 3. select custom pencil size : 11 3. apply and view result 4. open other jpeg image in editor 5. pencil size is not "11" but "32". This issue happens for each new image i open with editor, it always go back to "11". Every time i need to use charcoal drawing, i have to set my custom setting again. This issue didn't happen with previous digikam versions
*Mistake* Right comment: This issue happens for each new image i open with editor, it always go back to "32".
There is an option in the digiKam settings for the Image Editor that the tool settings are not saved. Possibly activated? Maik
(In reply to Maik Qualmann from comment #2) > There is an option in the digiKam settings for the Image Editor that the > tool settings are not saved. Possibly activated? Hi Where? I didn't find it. I just found In settings: image editor settings, restore the settings of image editors It is activated. If desactivate it, settings always go back to 5/ default
I cannot reproduce a problem, the last pencil size used is taken correctly. There were no changes to this tool since the last version. Check the file rights on your "digikamrc" configuration file. Look for this section in the "digikamrc" and check the entries for changes: [charcoal Tool] PencilAdjustment=11 SmoothAdjustment=10 Maik
I set PencilAdjustment=11 in digikamrc then, i had to restart digikam to get this pencil size setting remembered by Digikam. With previous Digikam versions, i didn't have to edit manually digikamrc to remember pencil size setting. I just did it on editor right side. For me, something has changed somewhere...
No, you shouldn't change the "digikamrc" manually. That the problem cannot be reproduced here with the GIT version, I would like to narrow down the problem for you. You should set a pencil size and quit digiKam and then check whether the value has been saved in "digikamrc". Maik
I understand what happens now: if do "ok" after changing pencil size, new setting is written in digikamrc. If i only do "try", it's not written in digikamrc, new size is only displayed in digikam. I think it was different with previous versions. I had to do only "try" to change pencil size setting and write it in digikamrc.
No, the configuration is definitely not saved with "Try", with no other tool and not even earlier. The configuration is only saved with "Ok" and "Cancel". Maik
I have tested the behavior here with an older AppImage-6.4.0, the behavior is identical. If you exit the Image Editor with the tool open, the value will not be saved. I wouldn't change anything about this behavior at the moment. Maik
I would only save the settings if "Ok" is used and not with "Cancel", but we leave the current behavior as it is.
OK, thanks
