SUMMARY It would be nice to have the following options: - Command line parameter to start kolourpaint with specified canvas dimensions - Option to easily change canvas dimensions by entering values (seems like there is only an option to resize by dragging). Such a dialog could pop up e.g. if the dimensions displayed on the lower right are clicked.
> - Option to easily change canvas dimensions by entering values This is already possibly by using the "Image -> Resize/Scale" menu action (CTRL-E), then select "Resize"

No, it doesn't. Just make sure you select "Resize" as said above, and NOT "Scale" or "Smooth Scale"

Guess I was still tired... Could that existing dialog then open as well when the dimension information from the lower info toolbar is (double?) clicked so that the shortcut doesn't need to be remembered ? Tho it might be more comfortable if that just switched to a text field input and the user could just type something like 100x100... However, the command line option you just added servers me in most cases I use kolourpaint for so thanks for that!
