Actuator - Automate Sequences of Actions : Krita Plugin

Resources Plugins and Scripts
61

Actually, you can add actions from Pigmen.O as part of you sequence :slight_smile:

Hello, Window>New View is not possible ?

63

I am not sure if it is related to Actuator plugin.

Do you observe expected behavior when plugin is disabled?

64

Sorry, I was not clear. I was wondering if New View action could be added to the actions. It does not show.

65

Got it!
You want to make a creation of a new View as an action of a sequence right?

There might be no “action” provided by Krita. However, Actuator is supporting script execution now. It might be possible to do this operation via script. Let me see what I can do.

I did a bit of digging. And it looks like you can make a new View, however it requires to create a new (or open existing) document.

Could you tell your exact use case with a New View?

67

Sorry, I should explain the goal. There is no “second view” feature in Krita (and it’s too bad). I work on a Huion tablet and I need to open a new window on my main monitor and choose the current file because it ’s a better monitor with better calibration - I use Krita professionally for comics coloring that will be print.

I created an Autoit script for this but I think it could be more convenient to use your plugin.

What my script do:

  1. open a new window
  2. send it to main monitor (with Win shortcut Win+Shift+Arrow - don’t know if it’s possible to mimic this in your plugin)
  3. open current working file
  4. Tab to clean interface
    5.(I use Fancyzone in Powertoys from Windows) send the window in a zone (Win+Arrow)

Actuator v0.6 is out!

The main takeaway from this update is the API. This new version is a first step towards v1.0. Now, most common operations can be reused via “actuator.api” import. On of the neat things about this release is a “state” object. With this object the user is now can store the state between sequence executions. One of the many applications is cycling through tools or brushes.

Nice, thanks.

78

I don’t remember how the update works. I need to delete the plugin first ? And will be scripts there after update ?

With Krita using English as first langauge, simply do Tools → Scripts → Import Python Plugin from File... and browse to the just downloaded file actuator-v0.7.5.zip and click on the OK-Button.

Then you’ll be asked:
The plugin "Actuator" already exists. Overwrite it?
→ answer this question with the Yes-Button.

Next question is:

The following plugins were imported:
Actuator
Enable plugins now? (Requires restart)

This should also be answered with the Yes-Button, and then you need to restart Krita.
That was the update.
