Hi all! I’m very pleased to announce that the gap closing patch has been accepted to master today. As usual, big thanks to @dkazakov for the review and many others for valuable comments. We had to make some compromises and the feature is certainly not perfect, but it’s a start. I hope it will already be useful to everyone who’s been waiting for it for so long 🥲 Here are the temporary builds from master. Eventually, they will be available in Nightly builds (um, when they get restored!). - Windows - [Artifacts · windows-build (#1603482) · Jobs · Graphics / Krita · GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/jobs/1603482/artifacts/file/krita-5.3.0-prealpha-18f01ba8.zip) - Linux - [Artifacts · linux-build (#1603481) · Jobs · Graphics / Krita · GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/jobs/1603481/artifacts/file/_packaging/krita-5.3.0-prealpha-18f01ba829-x86_64.appimage) Again, the current features are: - gap closing up to 32 pixels - larger gaps will be ignored (check the resolution!) - only the bucket fill and magic wand selection tools are supported (i.e. no enclose and fill) - look in the UI for a “Close Gap” slider. Values larger than 0 will attempt to close gaps. Set it back to 0 if you don’t need this feature, as it comes with a performance penalty. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/d/2/d2c3d61420000c71f67f726978802136d22c2960.png) If you have a chance to test it and run into a problem, feel free to tag me in your post. I hope we didn’t miss any bugs in the last minute as this one did see a significant churn over time… Thank you! 🥳 --- _[View the full topic](https://krita-artists.org/t/close-gap-in-fill-tool/32043)._
