Duplicate Guide Button

Hello devs, and Krita community! My small request/proposal would be the addition of a duplication button in the UI toolkit when adding guides to the canvas.

I often find myself drawing architecture and ships, and when putting down my perspective fields, splines, and ellipses, I have this reflex to duplicate a line and nudge it around rather than trying make a new one curve in the exact same manner. When building lattice or window, I can go point-to-point, but I end up redrawing lines to match my angles perfectly, and it can just be a little slow.

This is menu bar I’m referring to:

This screenshot demos an arc I’d love to replicate and stretch, to be a wing, a sail, a bar in a stained glass window. A lil’ button would do it, and that’s all the weight in the request, this is a nice-to-have, maybe someday.

So far, I’ve been drawing the first line, duplicating the layer, nudging that, merging it all together, and moving on. Open to suggestions, if there’s a better way or, a button/command already exists that I don’t know about.

Yep, it’s already implemented in master (Krita nightly). I’ll find the PR link once I’m at my desk.

Eyyy! :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands: Thank you so much!

OK, so here’s a quick summary. Various assistants enhancements, including the very useful duplicate button, had been contributed by @Arc_Mantis.

Thread - New Krita Assistant Tool Features - Develop - Krita Artists
MR - Assistant Tool New features: Editor Widget Redesign and Duplication Function (!1966) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab

Again, you will find this available in Krita Next Nightly build, which you can get from the official page. Nightly builds are bleeding edge and may be less stable than the released version.

Heard, and that’s better than I thought to ask for, awesome! I will proceed with glee and caution, and stopped in the thread to thank the dev. Thank you, too, I appreciate the links! :love_you_gesture:
