Comic workflow - general ideas and feature requests (including long webcomics!)

Thank you @tiar for all your attenteion and hardwork! I’am sorry I was in shadow, I had and still have some issues that prevented me to use my PC…

To the topic, here the repost of myself:
I would like to see some things in Krita for the web-comic format: usually page with extreme long ratio. Currently I working myself on the web-comic project. Sadly, for the most of work I have to use CSP – mainly bcs of feature #1 I suggest
Next is my suggestions:

  1. I would like to have an option to check fitness of image to certain ratio. Essentially is 1/2 ratio frame that dimms canvas outside frames, is attached vertically to the center of document view and zooming with canvas.
    The tool need to have an option to change a ratio.

Basicaly main goal of the tool is make friendly-orientied composition to the smartphones and mobile devices. Still it useful for desktops too, since it help artist to make rhythms of frames more steady.

  1. The window in Krita doesn’t fit all canvas at minimal zoom. It is good to see all canvas in order to fix composition issues.
    Despite of frames may look separates, often artists make interesting chooses to unite all 1/20 ratio frame.
    Currently Overview docker may do this function, but for that you need an additional free space on the display or the second display. Moreover dynamically zooming in any range is more convenient than docker’s window.
    Actually the problem concerns not only comics, sometimes there is not enough zoom out for a single illustration with a standard proportions – for an early stages of painting to see tiny thumb of the image is good thing to check a values.

1/13 (1600x22015px) example with minimal zoom out:

1/20 (720x18000px) example with minimal zoom out:

3 (Idk repeat #3 or not since @tiar already accepted to fix it) Not so important but there is a bug/feature that prevents to make template size more than 10000px in comic manager:
