Can't Move Dockers [Android]

I’ve been playing around with Krita on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, mostly for animation, and trying to come up with a good UI layout for my needs.

And I seem unable to move dockers from one location to another in docked mode.

For example: If I grab the Advanced Color Selector (deviously position is docked to the right side), and I try to move it so it’s docked on the left side, it simply won’t dock. Same goes for any other docker being moved from it’s default position. I can leave it in floating move wherever I put it, but can’t dock it into a tab in any new position like I can on desktop.

:slight_smile: Hello @saltorio and welcome to the forum!

I don’t know the Android version of Krita, but maybe the dockers there have padlock-symbol’s in the upper left corner of the docker, like in the desktop-version of Krita, if so, then please try to unlock them and see if they are moveable now.
I keep my fingers crossed for you that it will work!

Yeah, they need to be unlocked to move.

It’s just that in the desktop version when you go to move them if you drag them over an existing dock, they highlight that dock and you can slot them in as a new tab.

Whereas on Android, when I hover it over an existing dock nothing happens. If I let go, it just floats where I left it but doesn’t dock in place. And if I click the dock button it shoots back to its default position.

It does hover and highlight on android, it also docks, im using the same exact phone you have. Make sure your settings are good.

I have my tool options location set to toolbar
Hidpi unchecked.
Kinetic scrolling enabled although there sre issues about it and waiting a response.
You can configure atleast two toolbars.

Ah, might have to do with HIDPI mode. I have it turned on because otherwise the UI is way too small.

Layouts can’t dock sometimes when the space is too little for them to fit appropriately – which is true in case of Timeline docker, because it tries to extend itself beyond what the Main Window would allow and when it fails to do that, it doesn’t let anything else dock either (so un-docking the culprit docker may fix the freeze up).

Disabling HighDPI is a right workaround, if the text is legible that is :slight_smile:
