Can I link the Tourbox and Krita? If I can link it, how can I link it?

I’m using the Tourbox for the first time today and I’m not sure how it works, I can do the apps in the preset, but not the apps that are not there..

Hello @Kha_17, and welcome to the forum!

I don’t know the driver UI of your Tourbox, but usually you should be able to select Krita, or any other program, if Krita is running at the moment when you set up your Tourbox. If Krita is not in the list of applications listed up by the Tourbox, you will probably find the possibility to select new applications via a browse-button, something to search your files. There you have to enter c:\Program Files\Krita (x64)\bin\krita.exe if you have installed Krita via the installer from Krita’s homepage, if your Krita is from Steam or the Stores from Epic or Microsoft, the location is different.

1. Start Krita

2. Start the TourBox Console

3. In the TourBox Console click the little plus icon:
   

   

4. Give your new preset a name and choose “Custom Preset”, then click OK:
   

   

5. You now have a new preset, but it is not yet linked to Krita (in my screenshot I named it Krita2 because I already had a Krita preset). Click on the yellow marked “Not Linked” area:
   

   

6. You get a list of programs (Krita only appears here if you have started it in step 1) - select it and click “Save”
   

   

7. You now have a Krita preset linked to the Krita executable. Enable “Auto Switch” to have the TourBox automatically switch to the Krita preset if Krita is your active window. If you don’t enable this feature, you will have to manually switch presets in the TourBox console:
   

   

EDIT:
Just in case you like ot delete or rename a preset - left click the hamburger menu button:
