I trawled the net to see how many linux users of krita there are but came up empty! The reason I ask this question is the hope I am not the only person in the world with python addons failing to run on appimages. For me, up until Krita 5.1.4 all addons worked properly. From that version forward a Q…

As of 5.2, plugin builders had to make a change to their plugins in order to run on Krita. This was due to a QT upgrade. It’s possible that Flatpak didn’t add the upgraded version of QT and that’s why the plugins were working with that Flatpak version and not appimage. Appimage is the only official…

I use the current appimage but I don’t use third party plugins. All the built-in plugins seem to be working fine for me. EDIT: I posted this before I saw @sooz answer.

Thank you for the explanation. Please excuse my gross naivety; would a code fix be a trivial edit a non programmer could do - a simple find and replace to a library call perhaps? If not, a shout-out to all the add-on builders out there please update your code. Thank you both for your replies.

Please don’t feel naive. I barely understand what I put in my post. It’s just that I’m on this forum every day and I’ve picked up a lot via osmosis. If there is a particular plugin that’s giving problems, best thing to do is send a note to its owner - either on this forum (if they have published th…

It is also important to update your plugins, just as you update Krita. So for each plugin that stops working, visit the corresponding homepage to see if there are updates and update your plugins. Some plugin authors unfortunately have not updated their plugins, for various reasons I guess, maybe so…

Hi @mugwah , appimage user here, Fedora Linux 39 KDE. All third party plugins works (python scripts/plugins, Gmic, etc…). I trawled the net to see how many linux users of krita there are but came up empty! I probably live in a bubble, but I can guarantee you it’s far from being empty :wink:. Pro…

[image] Michelist: It is also important to update your plugins […] +1 with @Michelist , Python plugins manually installed tends to suffer quickly of being outdated. I wrote previously “everything is working”, but it’s not true: I lost 5 month ago the possibility to use the krita-plugin-refer…

[image] Deevad: (I can’t open anymore old appimage I stored on my disk for this reason I guess: dependencies issues). The 5.2.x versions rely on recent versions of the libc packages and that is why my old Debian 10 system can’t run 5.2.x. However, with my Linux Mint 21.3 system, I can run th…

The reason why i started this thread is I wished to prove the problem was not caused by the state of my ageing version of Mint. So,I ran a live ISO of the current release (linuxmint-21.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso). Then I downloaded a “perfect” Krita.AppImage and the QT problem was still there. I then down…

Are there many Krita AppImage users?
