SUMMARY Krita's generate warning messages when file from a removed file layer doesn't exist anymore. STEPS TO REPRODUCE - CASE 1 1. Create/Open a document 2. Add a file layer, linked to file /home/user/xxxx.jpg (for example) 3. Remove file layer 4. Save document 5. Delete file /home/user/xxxx.jpg 6. Wait 10seconds, and then every 10seconds, the message is printed in terminal: ----- "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 10 seconds" "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 20 seconds" "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 30 seconds" ... ----- 7. Close document The warning message still continue to be printed even if document is closed... STEPS TO REPRODUCE - CASE 2 1. Create/Open a document 2. Add a file layer, linked to file /home/user/xxxx.jpg (for example) 4. Save document 5. Close document 6. Delete file /home/user/xxxx.jpg 7. Wait 10seconds, and then every 10seconds, the message is printed in terminal: ----- "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 10 seconds" "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 20 seconds" "WARNING: couldn't reconnect to a removed file layer's file (/home/user/xxxx.jpg). File is not available for 30 seconds" ... ----- OBSERVED RESULT Krita tries to keep a connection to linked file even if file layer is removed. As error message is displayed when file doesn't exists anymore, it seems that Krita keep a connection to file even if not needed anymore (file layer removed, document closed) EXPECTED RESULT When file layer is removed, link to file should be completely stopped. Also, when a document is closed, link to file should be completely stopped.

Hi, grum999! Thanks for your report! I can see how this bug can happen, that is rather funny bug :) I'll have a look.
Git commit 3d2223f53c73b03692b8ae6429809602b6d72a12 by Dmitry Kazakov. Committed on 20/04/2022 at 09:45. Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'master'. Let File Layers report errors with filesystem via node properties Now the user can see an exclamation mark near the file layer's name when the layer fails to access/parse the linked file. The user can hover the exclamation mark and see what actually hapened.
